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

interesting, i find paper 1 much easier
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
AQA students yall are lucky never complain about your exam yall atleast get resources. You should have seen the OCR paper literally came from hell
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.
