I am man, SO scared for it as i have to sit the AS one too :frown:!
I'm trying to do both exams this year, my coursework for A2 Is around an A / B, do you think that it's possible to secure a C overall :frown:


I'm sure it's possible :smile: what did you get for your AS c/w..?

I know what you mean, I think it's hard to revise BECAUSE its boring lol. I can't seem to find Jan 2013 either, I'll post the link if I find it:smile:


Does anyone know if the spec for G063 has changed much since 2012..? I'm re-sitting this as an external candidate and don't think OCR haven't posted the spec for this year on their website :confused:

See i've opted to do both exams and the A2 coursework this year, so i haven't done the coursework at AS Level. I just really need a C man :frown:


Ah ok. I still think its possible...if you manage to get an A in your A2 c/w, you'll need solid B's in your exams to secure a C (I think). An A is 64/80 for the c/w, so you'll need 176 more marks in total to get a C..so split that into two exams and that makes it 88/120 in each exam. I use this btw: http://umstools.sourceforge.net/demo/www/index.php?p=calculator&target=gce

I hope I've worked that out right lol :tongue:

No problem :smile: I use my own notes based on the book from OCR, and also the Teach Ict website is pretty useful.

...btw maybe you should double check those grades I worked out in case I'm wrong :tongue: but I'm pretty sure that's right, and I bet you'll get your C tho :smile:

Yeah I sat it last year and got a B in it, hoping to bump it up to an A..

Tbh I think the website is better at explaining things but the book is endorsed by OCR and the website isn't, so I'm not sure whether the website is 100% reliable. If I get stuck on anything in the book I go to the website.

Ahh man that's soo good! Well done i'm sure you'll get that A!

The AS exam wasn't too bad tbh, just a lot of memorising like A2 (but easier lol).

Nope not yet :s-smilie: thanks..yeah I found out from another thread that it hasn't, in fact the latest spec on the website is for this year onwards :smile: do you know if the book has changed a lot..? I'm still using the old one I think...

I'll keep looking for the Jan 13 paper btw.

I am doing some ICT research for my Unit 2 topic.
Was just wondering how good this forum is for sharing information between each other?
