Computing and ICT Coursework (CPT6/ICT6) Help and Advice Thread

Finally, you need to list the system objectives, one by one (consider a bulleted list), and explain each and every one of them. Make sure they're quantitative and not qualitative (i.e. use specific values instead of saying "the system must work well").

2 Weeks? Just did mine on powerpoint in around a day and from what I've heard my system is bigger than yours.

lol.. by 2 weeks i mean 3 lessons which is 3 hours, plus an hour or two outside of lessons.

Oh alright, because I'm really un-organised (need to fix that about me) I've basically done this whole project in just about less than a month, which means a lot of hours outside lessons so when you said 2 weeks I thought you meant like a billion hours lol.

Ive got to hand mine in tomorrow why the **** can you hand your in in 2 weeks :|, I've had about 3 sleepless nights because of this lol.

i dont have to hand mine in two weeks, we havent even been told when we have to hand it in.. i guess in about 5 weeks.

How many pages did most peoples CPT6 design take up?

16.. you?

Just started it today so only 3 so far!
What are we supposed to write for the beginning bit of design (System overview), and about testing in the design section?

I've been told that ICT6 is worth 120 marks?

How many pages did most peoples CPT6 design take up?

For me...52 pages.

for the design alone? how long is your whole project?

bloody hell... mine was 19 pages and i think about 170 pages completed

They mention that screen shots should NOT be cropped, but what about resized? It's a bit hard to have a 1024x768 screen shot on an A4 sheet of paper XD

Don't panic! Depending on which board you are on you may have already done more than required. AQA don't want to see more than about 100 pages, and the examiners are increasingly hacked off at huge projects. They want to see a highly synthesised demonstration of the range of skills required - no fluff! So, algorithms for all processes, annotated code for all complex processes, representative examples of tests using boundary, extreme and acceptable data for all your processes etc are fine but they don't want lengthy explanations of stuff, or duplicate examples of code or tests (eg for a range of buttons that perform a similar function) and absolutely no automatically generated (wizards) stuff at all. It's perfectly possible to do a column 4 \ Grade A design section in 19 pages - just make sure follow the instructions in the specification exactly.
