ICT Exam OCR 'Best of Wood'

Hey guys,

I wanted to make this thread to ask you guys how to revise for the ICT exam and if you have any useful revision websites/videos/tips/notes etc.

My school haven't helped us for the exam because they only done coursework with us and literally gave us the scenario and told us to revise for the exam ourselves.

Yeah I just scanned through all the jobs made a list then next to that put the details. In the scenario most of the role descriptions are stated, the others can be implied from analysing what their role would normally do and implement it into BoW.

I have made brief notes on all sections and I'm just about to go through the past papers now because I have done a couple of mocks in school and I was told that they tend to repeat questions.

Well, basically we have like one lesson a week for theory where my teacher goes through a powerpoint. I found it so tedious, I never made notes till easter! She emailed us the lesson but I found it useless because of the lack of information. So i just searched up the spec myself and made brief notes on what I needed to know.

The exam seems so easy yet so many people flop for some reason which is why I'm worried. Let me know if you come across any useful websites/vids etc. along your journey.

Yeah same because the mock in school was actually okay yet there were lots of people from A2 redoing. Apparently the mark schemes are quite harsh and very precise.

Heres the link for the spec, you just have to scroll down for unit 3. Its starts from page 21 I think, check it out!
