Do you think anything on datamatrix codes, ezcodes or aztec codes could come up?

I doubt it, though it is good to know the difference between QR codes and Datamatrix codes.
It is good to have a very basic knowledge on the other two incase a question comes up where you can pop your knowledge into it, however i doubt a question will come up soley on this.

does anyone have any tips for the section B coursework questions? i feel like these are the hardest questions on the paper :P

With section B questions, you honestly have to be so simple and as though you're talking to someone who knows nothing. For example, if a question asks: How did you test your outputs, you need to state what your outputs are. Its best to look at mark schemes. When seeing what you can be awarded points for it looks so simple, but because its so simple people often forget to write them.

For example:

"Explain your test plan"
My test plan was arranged chronologically in order with test numbers (1) this was to ensure I carried out thetesting methodically. (1) One output i tested was the website (1) In order to test the accuracy of the output I showed it to my client for checking (1). For most tests Iincluded the expected result (1) which I checked the actual resultagainst. (1)

I'm using the Folens Essential AQA ICT and the AQA AS textbook to revise but are there any websites that have good revision material that is related to the spec?

I wrote this for my exam last year in those exact words and I only got 4 out of 6. I don't know what happened.

Out of curiosity, what have people made for prep-work?
I made a simple online shop, I see a couple of databases and spreadsheets

Might have overcomplicated it, I'm doing AS & A2 this year so have done an A2 project too

I've done a simple spreadsheet project. My teacher said the client for this one doesn't have to be real like the client for a2 does I'm in a2 as well but the pre-work for as doesn't seem a lot.

The AS one is meant to be simple and you only need to prove it with screenshots and stuff. Im in A2 as well but i did my A2 project with my AS last year got full overall for that. The A2 is the real deal you probably already know whats needed anyway in terms of going in-dept.
