Yes, after 90 minutes you will have only done half the paper as you would have wasted so much time in finding the exact location of the section required in your documentation to answer that question.

With a 100 pages, time will still be wasted searching through.
I used a structure similar to GCSE IT write-ups,

Analsis
Design
Implementation
Testing Plan
Testing
Evaluation

My source code takes up about 50 pages alone, and thats not including all of it just the parts i think ill need hehe :smile: As i said just use the AQA sylibus to help.

And no, im not giving out any of my doc. if you want help ask and ill help

No offense, but its sill yo do 100 pages of documentation when your coursework isn't even marked fully.

We were advised (by AQA) to do 20-30 pages.

make sure u contents page is well detailed mine is and i got a test paper for tods tyres and i found it easy 2 find the answers cause it was so detailed the detailes the better and the laytout of the whole documentaion sud b really really done soooooo well it makes all the difference
so what if ive dun 100 pages - i know a lad in my class hus done around 130! does it reli matter? ive just looked at the sylibus and wrote what i could. it only took me 2days to do so im not that botherd - not like ive spent ages on it

Dude. For programmed solutions, our source code weighs in about 86 pages alone. 100 pages is NOT stupid by ANY means. And with a well managed contents, and an idea of where you are going, you'll be flying to the pages within seconds.
thanks - i think your the only one hu hasnt said im a fool for writin that much. yeh the file alone is over 20megs cos of so many paint drawn designs and Er diagrams and dumps :smile: has anyone else used delphi pascal to do theirs with

I'm not being mean, I'm just advising them that it is a 90 minute exam and that they don't go through every section of the coursework, just parts relevant and used for the exam.

What percentage of that 20-30 pages is source code?

I assume you're using the Access solution, yes?

I'd like to see someone defy me saying they have a high level language programmed solution of Tods Tyres with the source alone less than 30 pages.

Because the whole coursework doesn't get marked.
