I do not think that phrase means what you think it means... SDD involves a lot of crappy theory that's unnecessary. They should teach Agile Programming as a methodology ;)

I'm left-handed and I wrote 12 pages on the SDD exam I did for practice last night. Gets awfully sore though. For my IPT exam in '04 I got rest breaks. Didn't end up taking them much.

Yes, use reading time on long answers. MCs are very quick, but reading the long answers you can get a good feel for the exam quickly.

Yeah, read every question 2 or 3 times. My trick for solving some of those 'Which statement represents this diagram?' type questions is to immediately look for the differences in the answer and just check which difference is correct.

Question for anarchists: Are you aware of any country in the past that has actually stayed without a government over the long run? (long run meaning 20+ years) I don't think there has been. Anarchy has no accountability and it's going to be a lot worse than things are under a (admittedly...

Well, that's why we infect everyone else's computers and burn their houses down. And maybe send one in the direction of the Board so that the exam doesn't end up happening and we all file for misadventure and they can't process it and chaos ensues. ;) Anyway, good luck everyone for tomorrow :)

Need to figure out some way to overload computer hardware in software so that the components would become hot enough to start a fire ;) Or maybe go with releasing smallpox. Unfortunately I don't have that much time left, but if you know anyone in USyd's bio department...

Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever SCM. But what if I hired someone to shoot you an hour before the exam? You wouldn't beat me then, would you?

When the 2007 Marking Notes come out, we'll know who they mean when they say 'A small number of candidates completed all questions...' - seriously, you should know this stuff! Option topics are so common in the HSC I don't think there's anyone in the state who wouldn't have to do one. Combined...

Hmm, as long as you aren't in Karabar DEC's class I want you to not turn up because your clock was wrongly set, then get zero. Would help my mark scale up more, and in turn my UAI ;) This goes for everyone, except Liam and everyone else at Karabar. Seriously, if only us 11 turned up for the...

As of Thursday I will have completed 6 units, 4 of them this year. As of November 2009 I will have completed most likely 14 units. Acceleration FTW!

That is assuming you actually turn up for the exam.

Web programming does add a layer of complexity when making a game, but depending on the type of game you want it can be much easier and higher mark scoring. There is a DirectX extension for Python called DirectPython, however I would highly recommend (no matter which language you use) that...

It was... five days ago. I can still remember most of the questions.

Bytes / 1024 = kibibytes/kilobytes Bytes / (1024*8) = mibibytes/megabytes And for anyone wondering, yes, the official international standard has been changed so that a kilobyte is 1000 bytes, megabyte = 1000000 bytes, etc. which is stupid, but I don't think the BOS has amended the syllabus...

Now what was that I heard you say, Mrs Bishop, 'skills shortage'? Seriously, out of 67000 HSC students this year only around 10% of them are doing an IT course. Oh well, all the more $100k+ jobs for us :D

Whoops, forgot who you were...

Yeah, I was surprised SDD was so unpopular - neither SDD nor IPT are in the top 15 subjects. Also, it's Thursday the 1st ;)

Probably.

I can send you my IPT files including my database task - just PM me with your email.
