WJEC Information & Communication Technology IT3 (LEGACY) 1243/01 - 16 Jun 2017

Above is an example from IT3's Networks.

As you can see, it is important to remain close to the scheme for the factors, but you are let loose a little bit for the second mark set. It's wise to use mark scheme examples, but its good to bring in your own example also where appropriate to add meat to the bones.

Do you have more model answers for different questions? I find them really nice to revise from.

Hi all,

Would it be helpful if I posted the exam questions and answers I compiled as revision when I did WJEC A Level ICT? I don't think I've asked on this thread yet

Feel free - While I probably wouldn't use them, I am sure that there are plenty here that would.

Hi.

Apologies for the late reply and welcome to the thread.

Take a look at the question pack I have linked on the first post on this thread, pick out the questions you want to do and then just go to the mark scheme for that particular question. Pick out the points you like and then it is just a case of learning them. It's also advisable for you to 'add meat to the bones' or 'analyse' the point to portray that extra bit of detail that is going to stand you in good stead.

Different points will register with our memories in varying ways ie: a point that I understand well, you may have a hard time remembering and vice versa. Personally, I learn everything but that of course is a little excessive and you by no means have to do that.

For the reason above, I thoroughly recommend selecting the points off your own back.

The best way for me to help you personally would be for you to produce an answer and then show it to me, I can then offer critical feedback as to what you might be able to improve. By adopting this approach, you will be able to adapt your own style of answer and make it better, rather than trying to make a square fit into a circular hole by using another student's model answers.

I went ahead and tried to answer all the DBMS questions. I just want to say i appreciate your help very much.

Anyone know what topics should definitely come up? And ones that don't appear as often?

“Nobody really owns the Internet or tries to control it.” Discuss with suitable examples, whether you think that this statement is true or false. [8]
Can someone give me a full mark answer as I am struggling to form an answer out of the mark scheme?

Apologies for the delay.

I presume that this is the question from Winter 2010.

This is a very old mark scheme and is not as relevant anymore. Wherever possible, I encourage you to try and identify a rehash of the same question in more recent years, and use that mark scheme instead. They are much more well-constructed these days.

Pages 19-22 on this one should help you out. It is literally the same question just worded differently.

Thank you, would this answer gain me full marks?

The Internet is available for use by everybody and nobody actually owns it. There is little control over the content of the material on the Internet, however some governments, such as the Chinese government, have started to control what material and websites can be accessed. There is also very little control over the people who can access the material on the Internet, meaning that unless filtering software is used, young children can easily access inappropriate material, e.g. pornographic or violent images and videos. There are also issues with the accuracy of material on the Internet due to a lack of ‘policing’. This leaves it up to the users of the Internet to check whether material they view or use is accurate. Because the content on the internet is not monitored, spreading untrue information or rumours is easily done.

Can anoyone please help me make a plan for revision ? im hopeless !
I Have AS revision and A2 ! And idk how to space that between 7 days as i want to be sure it will stay in my memory
AS topics : 123456a6b6c6d789101112
A2 topics : 123456789

What do you mean by spacing it 'between' 7 days. Do you mean that you intend to revise all of that in seven days?

If so, I can't help but say that is a little unrealistic considering the size of some of those topics. I would just revise one per day for however long it takes.

If this isn't realistic for you, or you think that it wont stay in your memory if you do it this way then it may well be best for you to literally just sit and do all of the papers with mark schemes then just do them again.

January 2011 onwards, don't bother going back further than that considering that you have so much to do and that you presumably have other subjects to revise for. 2011-2016 should be sufficient to learn enough content for you to do well and grab a B or A.

Time is of the essence at this point so particularly for those of us who are resitting, the time is now to just start banging out the papers even if it means that you need to use the mark scheme for the first pass.

A friend of mine got a C grade in IT1 (which is very good btw) having only started learning let alone revising two weeks prior to the exam by doing papers with the mark schemes, so the moral of the story is, if you don't think you have enough time to cover absolutely everything very thoroughly or if you just find it hard to organise yourself effectively, just start doing papers with the mark schemes. The more you repeat something, the stronger your memory of it will become.

Best of luck.

And for AS i am on topic 6a
