YAY for no SQL question besides in the multiple choices!
BUT what happened to the Schema, data dictionaries, database and story board questions =( Drawing those diagrams was one of my strengths!

Overall it was pretty good! Definitely a LOT easier than my trials!

Did anyone else here got like so much Cs in a row in the multiple choice?

Two more q's...
Was q8 multiple choice a feasibility study or a requirements report?

And for q19, was it "OR" or "AND" as the SQL code?

Q8 I put requirements report, it can't be feasibility study because that determines the potential solutions, etc.

Q19 I put the one with AND, I think that was B.

Guys about the multiple choice when the guy gave another person's personal details to his cousin, was the answer unethical use of information?

Really hoping I can pull 96-97 raw, giving me 97-98 overall which hopefully becomes a state rank. We'll see though, I reckon it's 50-50.

Was the bank a user?

And for the question "Which hardware component is necessary to physically connect a client to a server?" Is that a NIC or a Modem?

I'm gonna be disappointed if I don't at least get a 90 raw :/

Edit:
Q11: Main function of a switch; c) connects a network device to the internet, or d) enables network devices to talk to eachother.
I was so confident with these questions but then people kept convincing me i was wrong and it's stuck in my head

For the necessary hardware question, I put modem.

Also guys what did you put for the what is a switch question? I was tossing up between connecting the device to a network and allows devices to talk to each other, I ended up choosing connecting a device to a network.

Yeah I put modem. And yeah just added that to my question. I went with c, because "talking to eachother" just sounds wrong.

I was honestly looking for the answer "provides a direct connection between the sender and a receiver", like what you said "talk to each other" does sound abit simplish and wrong lol.

I talked about how real time processing becomes quicker and more efficient as opposed to say an offline real-time TPS, and some other stuff i can't really remember but my textbook doesn't really specify how OLTP's have contributed to the development of TPS's so i'm not really sure of the correct answer.

Hardest bit of the test was the multiple choice. Some of them gave me trouble as there were 2 answers i couldn't pick apart

However the short answers and diagrams were really easy,

Yeah I was pretty happy with the diagram questions, every year had either a context diagram OR a data flow diagram and I was absolutely devastated to see BOTH in this one, however they were both pretty simple.
