WJEC AS ICT Exam Resit 5th June 2017

Hi,

I am currently studying for the WJEC IT1 exam resit on Monday 5th June 2017 and I'm wondering if the way I answer questions is correct.
For example if the question says describe a use, an advantage and a disadvantage for the HCI Graphical User Interface [3]
I would go about by answering this question in bullet points, not complete sentences.
So I was wondering if you can tell me if this is the correct way or not?

Also, does anyone know what exam resits are like? Do the examiners prepare a new exam or is it an amalgamation of previous exam question papers? Is there any website where I can access previous exam resit papers?

Thanks.

You should use full sentences. The exam we are going to sit is the same one the current AS students will sit. This website has all of the past papers https://jacktilson.net/edu/ict/

So I shouldn't answer questions like this? But I thought the only question we need to write full sentences is the one marked QWC?

how did people find the paper?

I thought it was OK overall but these examiners are the most harshest and strictest so we'll have to see.

Yeh the question where worded differently compared to last year but overall the paper was OK. It was harder than last year tho so he grade boundries will probz be like 48 for an A. With 100% course that will be an A so it should be good.

The paper wasn't too bad tbh, but there were a few weird questions chucked in there. But overall I estimated around 60/80 so maybe an A :biggrin:

You're welcome mate. That's good! Will definitely boost your grade up. Like I was saying before, I got a U in my exam with near 100% in my coursework and still got an overall C.

Yeah I think they will definitely be lower than previous years.
Overall not drastically bad, think better than last year. But could of done a lot better. Made some stupid mistakes tbh
