    Ready for Information Technology?

    11 words per line X 8 lines (avg stanza) of mine = 88. 88(words) x 8 paragraphs in 2 pages (4 paragrapgs in each page)= 704 words. ^That was basically how much I wrote... I kinda did go on to the third page though. My writing is average-big. I know a friend that fits about 15 words per line and...

    600 words is precisely 1.5 pages I think... on average, because the sample answers that I saw were generally that long. 2 pages for each long response should be safe. 1 page for the 8 marker, and 1 page for the other 2 questions look reasonable.

    Ready for Information Technology?

    For long responses I used about 2.5 pages each... I have average writing... For short responses I overkilled my responses for some questions... going beyond the spaces provided and writing around 3/4 page for most 4 markers... But its the quality that matters not the quantity... I was speaking...

    Ready for Information Technology?

    I think I did alright in short answers and long responses... if had been given more time I would be nailed the long responses.. but ohh well.. MC stuffed me up really band and I only got 12/15< not a band 6 standard...lol Overall I would be expecting anything from 66/80(strict marking) to...

    What are you thoughts on the paper and what do you think the cut off will be?..... I personally believe the paper was diffcult for an 'IT' exam and general knowledge was not adequate enough to get across a band 6, unlike last years's paper. I did 10 years of past papers and I found this paper to...

    Ready for Information Technology?

    Yes the MC was really strange this year... shit just realised I got 2 wrong :( The emergency services/ambulance MC was tricky. Options were: A. Location, nearest cross street, number of casualties B. Location, age of casualties, number of ambulances required (Don't think the age is that...

    Ready for Information Technology?

    Yeah I havent tried the online multiple choice... my school was generous enough to print me past papers from 2001-2011 so I didnt bother trying the online MC. http://www4.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/course/higher-school-certificate/information-technology/ ^^ Yes the online MC works for me...

    Ready for Information Technology?

    How is everyone's preparation going for IT.. and what are your predictions for tomorrow's exam? Do you reckon they will have 3 options for 15 markers in section III or will they have only 2 options... one of which is made up of 3-5 long answer questions.... and how did everyone prepare for IT...

    Is This Year's HSC Easy?

    Thats because previous students think they could've gotten a lot higher this year... I bet it will be the same story for us next year when we see the paper again... we will be like 'damn... this year's paper is so easy compared to our's from last year'... lol ^ That happens each year...

    Is This Year's HSC Easy?

    Yer I completely agree with what the others said... Just beacuse the majority of members from Bored of Studies find an exam easy does not mean that it was an easy exam this year... This is because most of the members here actually study and 'try' in their exams... Since most members here said...
