GCSE I.T

History is a really interesting subject. Is it GCSE IT or the double award course? There is a heck of a lot of coursework in the double award course.

Because as far as i'm aware, you can't get an A* in any course, seeing as the maximum you can get for GCSE is distinction, which is the same as an A. Then in A-Levels and above, the highest is an A16, which isn't an A*.

My paper today was CEA. You can get an A*, quite a lot of my class got A*s in all the sections so far, just need to see what I got in the exam today, going by how easy I found it, hard not to get an A*.

What was your timed practical about then?
Think they're all the same as what the exams about. Make leaflets about copyright? :P

nope,. we didn't have a pratical exam.
We had 60% coursework
40% written paper.

the written paper had like 2 questions on copywright worth like 8 each, and paper was out of 80. So thats like alot of marks i lost :(

The coursework is easy, ours was just making a business and then three tasks for it such as database, advertising and product list/cashiers view and in year 10 it was just some random rubbish about theme parks lol, I didn't take that serious and came out with about a low C but this year I got mid A in coursework and high A in mock and the written exam last week was extremely easy so I know I've definitely passed.

You should pick IT. :D

haah.

I'm in year 10 and in I had to make a database for a made up company who were using cards to store all their information then solve all the problems they had with the current system on the new system.
