The exam isn't particularly difficult though? The majority of it is common sense, which admittedly may not be as common as it should be.

Firstly, you can't get an A* with GCSE IT, an A is the maximum you can get. And secondly, I took it, and its really easy!

Rubbish... Coursework is easy and pratical is easy, has to be the easiest GCSE ever.

DO NOT PICK ICT, possibly the stupidest mistake i have ever made. So much damned coursework

as people have said, ICT (when i did it) was 40% coursework. In my project which was about a B was about 120 pages.

hmm, if you want to learn about Web designing and stuff i suggest waiting until A Levels and taking a course at a college that offers the option. I cant remember what the course is called but oh just have a look around

ict is so much fun :]
yeah it's alot of coursework
but i never really had to go back to finish it cause you can do it in the lessons easily if you don't chat all lesson. I talked for half of my lesson time and i still finished with A* in year 10 and my year 11 work is ungraded as of yet.
60% coursework 40% test.

my test is tomorrow, yikes! :]
the boundaries are low too, its only like 70% for an A :D

DAM! i got this tomorrow :(

Maybe i find it more work because it's an extra thign for me. Outside the normal timetable, thursday afterschool and wednesday lunch on top of all my other work. there's only 20/1000 people doing it as we all got picked
