Btec unit 2 databases exam

Now the real question is... should I care? But anyway, I had my Unit 2 exam today which was the real thing and gave me a scanerio about a catering company selling party goods. The ERD was tough but what is concerning me most is the report. I was asked to total something per supplier (how many large stock sizes each has) and used a report footer to do this, however, I put a COUNT function in and it was only counting how many products they had so I changed it to SUM but it returned all the values as negative numbers. Although I tried to justify it all in my evaluation (i.e using the techincal vocab), taking me to nearly a whole page, I still worry that I have lost so many marks in this thing. What happens if I fail this unit? Do I have to sacrifice BTEC IT altogether?

As long as you get 16 marks across all 2 parts you will be fine and get a pass

you're cooked g

Yes but the thing is I need to get a merit for a strong overall grade so I can apply for uni

What overall grade are you looking to achieve?

A distinction at least, but I’ve been pulling out all the stops, and I will still do this, for a Distinction* when I finish next year. Am doing unit 1 (exam next January) and unit 6 (coursework).
