How are you guys and those few girls gonna prepare for it ?

i just read over all my notes but then i don't feel confident still. damn scenarios are so hard to apply your knowledge to

Goodluck boys and girls, but our school, although catholic doesn't do the cssa trials

Cramming worked for me, but I don't know about everyone else. Maybe just revise the key points, and leave the small bits out so you can maximise your mark in the minimal study time

meh just go have a nap

and cram 1/2 an hr before the exams

simple

 

[Ragerunner]

i want to try do a better approach but all these scenarios and algorithms are a sleeping tablet

 

[Winston]

IM just doing scenario type questions heehe
well like the excel questions they are pretty good and the ones i can't answer i just check the answers and try and remember it in case it pops up in an exam =)

d0o u think they'd ever ask a question like name one incident where poor design software has contributed to loss of life? Cos i didn't have any idea wat the answer was for that

Possibly in the medical industry where life support systems could be run by computers, or say the equiptment to run a plane, while the plane was over in the middle of the ocean, it could crash into the sea, just a couple.
