Truer words have never even spoken. Also, what was with that data types questions :L every year it is in the exact same format and this year they decided to make it a 5 marker :L

i have other exams coming up, but with how that paper went, and my coursework grades over AS and A2, I have little concern for going ham on CG3... I have a 5 day uninterrupted period where i can just revise terminology, should be ok.

the plus side is if i get 90 or so marks on this paper, for the CG3 paper,I think id only need like 57 marks to get an overall A for the subject, so I have little to worry about

I personally think they could have phrased the question better.

Nice one, you will be fine, the grade boundaries will probably be very low for this exam.

If im going to be honest, the only question i found really hard on that paper was the filling in of those 5 lines, took me about 40 mins after i finished all the questions to just sit there and mentally process what the f*ck i was meant to put, but i think i got there eventually

I got

boolean
Temp = SortArray
SortArray = SortArray[i+1]
SortArray[i+1] = Temp
FALSE

That question also took up the majority of my time. I think this was the only paper where I needed the full 3 hours to complete especially with all the 6 markers.

Hopefully, would be better for everyone if it was...

I only got a C in last years paper because I (regrettably) revised the whole subject off of taught subject content, rather than the mark scheme, which was a shame because the way WJEC works is if it isnt a bulletpoint, its "wrong"... basically coming up with a valid point that isnt one of their obscure marking bulletpoints means your answer is incorrect and you dont get credit

Evidently revising off mark schemes has paid off here, so I plan to do the same for CG3 and go for that safe A grade rather than potentially sabotaging my other subjects just to bust my ass off for the Computing A*

did you get the same answer in the end??

and tbf i thought a lot of the present 6 markers were really decent ones, Ive never really struggled with remembering fixed + variable, benefits of social networking, paper vs computer

i did take some time to remember some of the retarded wjec points for voice dictation, like locations such as "nantyflln" or nouns or terms such as "cwtch" and other welsh sh*te

The managing resources and vocabulary dictation question was also quite easy. what points did you put for the paper vs computer?

I guarantee all the mark schemes are written in welsh and lost in translation when written in english. Also do you think the welsh have an unfair advantage in WJEC exams?
