is it me or are all computing teachers and resources crap :frown: i mean my teachers for computing are just bad..i remeber when i used to go to a state school where the teachers were also crap (for computing). I have the fattest textbook for OCR computing which makes you fall asleep after looking at one page.....having said that i force myself to just memoerise the whole bloody thing when the exam comes around...but honestly to god its boring (OCR computing btw)

Does anyone know how much the exam is worth in the AS OCR Applied ICT exam?? I have a feeling it might be around 15-20%. Is that right??? Ahh- exam this afternoon!!! :frown:

Revision books would have been useful but since you seemed to have done little to no revision it looks like your'll be lucky to get a pass.

I don't sympathise really.

If you are doing the single award for AS OCR Applied ICT, each one is weighted at around 33.33%.

For example:

Unit 1: Coursework - 33.33%
Unit 2: Exam - 33.33%
Unit 3: Coursework - 33.33%

If you are doing the double award then this reduces the amount to about 15-20% per unit (since there are six of them).

How did you find todays exam then?

The exam is on Tuesday and I only have 2 GCSE ICT revision books to help.
It mostly seems to be about Keep Fit Sports centre systems, but I am finding it really hard.
Does anyone know any NW sites with ideas for help & revision?
My ICT teacher is crap- completely autistic-sits at his screen & tells us to get on with it. Hopeless!
