Wow absolute ****
Just a little tip aswell, if you've exhausted all the past papers - have a go at the one for the new GCSE, it's pretty similar in style and because we are the last year I think that the paper will be more towards this structure/difficulty:

I feel like that has come up before, I'm thinking either: Sequence/Iteration etc. or perhaps Represention of Data?


What's representation of data?!?!?!,

It includes images/sounds/character sets, compression (lossy/lossless) & binary, hexadecimal etc. (but I don't think that part of it can come up in a big way because it's more mathematical)
Can anyone explain HTML to me? There's a question in the 2014 paper about it but I'm still slightly confused about it.

It's used for presenting data in web pages if that helps! What was the question?
Lool I'm completely fuc*** for the exam, I only know half of the content and the rest is just vague, I keep on forgetting it. Need 50/80 to get a C as well. :s-smilie:SSSSSS

The Nena mountaineering club has a web page. The web page consists of an HTML file and some JPG and MPEG files

a) What does HTML stand for?

b) Explain one purpose of the HTML file. (This was the one that I was slightly confused on!)

Thank you! X

60/80 is an A*?
What do you mean
Have a really weird feeling that system utilities and diagnosis utilities could come up for 6 marker?!

It's due to my coursework. For my first one I got a high B but for my second one I got a D/E (can't remember)

That's a different specification to what we are doing tomorrow.

Yep I know :smile: But because we're the last year doing it, and there's a new specification for next year - more questions will be in the style of what they will be on the new spec imo
