Things you hope won't be in the exam. (1 Viewer)

Chances are you'll be vague on at least part of the syllabus. What are some of the things that you'll dread if they pop up in the exam as a three or five marker?

OLAP and OTAP

I hope there will be no questions on calculating the video size + audio...

It shits me even with a calculator...and we aren't allowed calculators.

I don't see how we are suppose to do those without a calculator, unless it requires a formula only.

They haven't been any in the past papers I'm doing.

wtf is OLAP/OTAP?

I don't like block diagrams, calculating isn't too bad I spose but really should get a calc...Umm, I just really hate all exams when they ask shit vaguely related to what you've been taught but not really specifically what you are taught, like weird scenarios and situations. I spose if they ask about some random emerging technology i don't know, that would suck.

Is one way communication between an island and a satellite internet?
Got it wrong in accelerated IPT and decided to give up on it entirely. WHYYYY? So much easier than business!!!

im not wanting OLTP. i did some work on OLAP and it makes a bit of sense

We finished the course early and I've never seen such a term, how odd.

do you do decision support systems?

oh and those terms are in the information systems and databases section as well but i think you have to look in the ipt specifications document here http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/syllabus_hsc/pdf_doc/ipt-specifications.pdf

I think they'll only appear in a DSS section, I've read loads of them but I still don't get it.

I remember hearing that this was scrapped with the new syllabus, but I'm really not sure do you know whereabouts it is?
