Didn't like the exam at all. We had like 2 lessons of revision and I did very bad. Hoping for a pass at least
I thought it was generally quite easy, didn't have a clue about the cloud computing questions or the RSS feed question though.

For the digital communications 6 marker I wrote about how you should be careful about what you say over the internet as people tend to say more hurtful things behind a screen, things that wouldn't normally be said to someones face. I also mentioned sharing inappropriate images of someone else without their consent and also the use of emoticons in insulting messages and how the sender may see it as a joke whilst the receiver finds it offensive.

I thought the other 6 marker was pretty straight forward.

For the RSS feed question I had a guess at it being updates of posts on social networking sites such as Facebook or Twitter, was that correct?

I reckon I got around 58/80, so hopefully an A*

An A* is usually 60/61 marks. I found the Exam quite easy. The 6 marker on Disadvantages & Advantages of Desktop PCs was great.
It obviously depends on how hard students across the country found it and I personally didn't like the way they worded a lot of the questions! My teacher said that 39 was an A* last year because so many people did badly on it!
Same my teacher said 'its pretty much impossible to get an a* ' :LL

Why? I got an A* on all other past papers I've done (including mocks) and I have got an A* on my coursework.

Oh sorry boss :L And I think its 'cause I've got a pretty crap teacher and I started off in the BTEC class but then came to the GCSE one 'cause I couldn't stand that class, taught my self most of my work :LL But congrats anyway :smile:
