Talking about the exam afterwards always makes me nervous, it felt really easy after business.

Also question 6 was a bit weird (I don't think any of the answers were correct, but picked C)
Probably the easiest question there tbh. Hint: Body language isn't verbal.

Re: It Exam Over!!!

All I can say is WOW...I thought I was prepared, but no...

Honestly if I had studied 10 hours more it wouldn't have made a difference!
That's just how 'off-topic' some of it felt to what I've been reading and taught in class. You'd think that IT - with less than 1% of people managing a Band 6 -that it would be scaled fairly well, but no...I'd be lucky to scrape a Band 5...I don't think I've even heard my teacher mention "macros" once and there's a 3 mark question on it?!?!

Oh well, It's just a number :)

Good Luck to everyone else! (I'll need all the luck I can get now :p)

Re: It Exam Over!!!

I thought it was alright. I didn't study at all because it's not going towards my UAI lol. I did questions 21 and 22 for the last one. I only used 1 booklet for each, but I think I answered the question alright I hope lol.

Yeah, I don't really care how I went for this subject. It won't count in my UAI, so I didn't even bother finishing the exam. Lazy bitch. :eek:

Re: How Was The Exam 2008!?!?!

Yeh WTF was up with extended response!!!!! Im sooo screwed for that but the rest I'm probably ok....and i did 21 n 22 but spend way too long on 21 and rushed through 22

What raw marks you rekon will get us a band 5 at least?

and yeh, what the hell was Q13 (the scandisk utility one) ????
I put A-Faulty sections on the disk

[EDIT]
according to wiki the Scandisk checks and repairs 'file systems and bad clusters'
...so wouldn't 'faulty sections' be 'band clusters' and also the 'B's on the diagram could represent 'Bad'??

also Q14 I put OHS act???
