We were taught relational/logical operators in the Information Systems and Databases syllabus.
It was a sweet exam. Band 6 here I come. What's better, I never have to study that shit ever again!

At least 150 hours study
at least 50 hours study in the past 2.5 weeks

Don't think I went very well, nothing like past papers.
None of the questions allowed me to show in depth responses at all.
Did anyone else make a relational database for Q21 c?

Also, site maps? wtf is a site map
I drew a storyboard, is that right?

Also, did many people use extra booklets? I filled them up pretty much completely but didn't use new ones except for option topics

Are you serious? If you needed 150 hours study in one subject you havnt learnt enough during the year. How much study have you done in other subjects?

oic - accelerated IPT?

Don't worry about a 4 mark question, theres still 96 marks you can get. Theres still a good chance you could get a band 6 with the effort you've put in :)

Um im not sure what it is but I am in year 11 and did the course over 1 year
Ive checked my multiple choice and I got 18/19 out of 20 probaly

I used a writer in the test which was very wierd and I found that the test was very different. I felt that I didnt go very well but ive had another look at the questions and it seems to be not too bad, im thinking maybe it was just because I had the writer and all it seemed very different.

but I really feel awful, honestly, i feel like crying

I don't need a band 6, as long as I get a band 5 and 80% in the test I am happy
but I feel I might not get that now, hours of time wasted

i found the test very annoying....

far out...the booklets they give u are so short..u waste time asking for another one and they take ages to give u one and then u have to fill in the front. the 6 markers i just made up a whole lot a bs to fill 1.5 pages each...

and what did question 22 c mean "describe an issue RELATED to each of the folowing"---especially with data integrity. and also the question of video processsing software i wrote adding special effects lyk tweening and distorting is that right?

probably a band 5

When I did this last year my teacher told us we would need extra booklets for some parts and told us to ask for extra to begin with :)

Lol, it's one Q.
Don't stress.
You sound like you've put the work in, and that will show in your exam.
Plus, it's IPT.
Doesn't prepare you for a future in computing technology, if you want to go in that direction. Just prepares you for an exam on the 30th of October, 08. No use whatsoever next year.
