Yeah sure.

First question - did you write about how protocols are a set of rules that enable devices to communicate?


Yup I did hahaha

Last year it was i think 40 for a* i got 45 and i know thats a* regardless. However the coursework was slightly easier according to my teacher so he thinks the grade boundaries will go up slightly so i think that would definitely be a A. The grade for computer science is in ucas points. so its the coursework plus grade plus the grade in the exam multiply by 1.6 or 1 and 2/3 to get your mark.


I've just realised this method is wrong because if you add the maximum mark for the coursework and the exam you get (90 + 50 = 140) and 140 * 1.6 = 224
And the maximum is 200 lol

Um what did you put for file management one? I completely forgot what it was so I said files are organised depending on the OS.
Then I made up the second bit by saying it's saved by getting allocated resources hahaha (but this is the resource allocation thing which is a different thing to file management) so either got 1 or 0 marks out of 2 or 3 for got lol

I also said that the files are organised. I didn't really know what to say to be honest.

Haha lool, I would laugh if you got that right.

I flopped this question - I think I got 1 out of 3 marks.

I completely forgot about HTML so I attempted it but it's pretty much blank.
Apparently my friends tell me you had to put <ul> or something like that.

Samee completely forgot it and didnt think there was any point learning it!

I thought <ul> meant underline and nothing was underlined except for the header?

Nah, <ul> means 'unordered' list which means that it represents statements that are not numerical in a particular order. I'm not too sure. It was just a 3 marker (even though 3 marks is quite a lot)

WTF was that Trace Table??!!!!

Yeah, I got something along those lines.

Haha oh okk lol. What did you get for the SQL query and the code at the back?

I can't really remember what I got for the code at the back. It was quite chunky to remember.

For the SQL, I also forgot what I wrote down but it was like:

SELECT FROM tblOutlet
VALUES (the two records)
WHERE id = "G"
ORDER BY (ASC);

I think I put more detail in the exam paper. I'm not sure if it's completely right or not.

What did you get for the blank boxes about that code that had the weekdays and weekends (1 = monday, 2 = tuesday, etc.)? It was something about logical operations.

No its like this (90*1.6)+50 coursework mark is not multiplied.

I got SELECT (id, description)
FROM TblName
WHERE id = 'G'
ORDER BY (id) I thought it said to order by the id or something haha

Also ORDER BY automatically means ascending so asc is not needed.

For the question on the back I did so bad. I did something like:

R1 = 0
R2 = 0
R3 = 0

RR1 = R1 + 1
RR2 = R2 + 2
RR3 = R3 + 4

If R5 = 0
print (int(R1*R2*R3))
Else
print (int(R5 - 1))

Something like that and I know this is defo wrong!

For the logical operations one I think I put:

AND
OR
NOT

I think lol wbu?

Ohh okk! Lol that's why it wasn't working! I really hope I somehow scrape an A* in comp sci!

yo you had to put the LIKE id=%"g"

Oh I never knew that. Thanks for telling me

I think I got something similar in terms of the code - not sure though.

For the logical operations, there were 4 boxes - I got AND OR NOT AND
