topic 4 and a bit of 3, i can full marks on the long essay question, and also get as many marks on the binary/hexadecimal stuff and the network topics then i should be fine, usually this paper is easy then paper 1

How did everyone find it?
I thought the double 9 marker at the end was a bit mean but not too bad, and I don't think i got the SQL 6 marker right, with the cross-selection between tables (even though it was on our mock...)

the second 9 marker was actually ok, other than that it was a very nice paper

What did everyone get for the calculation questions?

which one

The bitmap question f***ed me up 😅
But other than that (and the two 9 markers, and the joining of 3 tables in SQL🫠), I don't think it was too bad! Best of luck to everyone :smile:

Wasn’t it only joining 2? Plus for the bit map was it just stating that white could be 00 and grey could be 01 etc…

Yeah I only joined 2
For the bitmap one I said that each pixel is represented by a bit pattern which is at least 2 bits long, each bit pattern represents a different colour, the bit patterns joined up form a bitmap..but I don't think that's entirely right.
