the grade boundaries are really high for the controlled assessment, you need one 39/40 to get an A*.
how did you find the other computer exam?

Has anyone been given a way to answer 9 mark questions? E.g. if it said to choose between external or internal recruitment.

I've been told to do this (if I chose external, for example):
Para 1: Advantage of external
Para 2: Disadvantage of internal
Para 3: Conclusion with a dependent factor which shows a disadvantage of what you chose briefly (e.g. choosing external would depend on the cost of it)
How did it go? Paper was pretty nice IMO
