    I.T Topping the state

    If you top the state, you definitely don't get 100. It doesn't work like that. And you definitely aren't guaranteed to jump to a near-100 UAI either. Both systems just don't work like that. You get the mark you deserve. Scaling is affected by your school cohort doing the course more-so than...

    Is It Possible To Achieve High Band 6 In It Vet?

    Is it possible Well yeah I was first in 04 and I was able to get a Band 6 for IT. Was it my true mark? No...cause your mark printed on your actual HSC can be higher or lower than your exam mark due to a few factors. One of the main ones is how every else in your class went opposed to you...

    Hellllppppppppppppp!!!!!!!

    I wouldnt freak out...they are just the sorts of things you need to know...practical things :) This comes with doing lots of exercises in class on the computers, it will just get to the stage where these questions become 2nd nature to you in the exam :)

    Hellllppppppppppppp!!!!!!!

    Yeah definately first of all dont panic! No need to do that :) Excel books are a good idea but PLEASE dont put your trust in the Excel guides. IT is not a subject like Physics or Chemistry or Maths where they can just change a few numbers and chemicals here and there and make a whole new...

    Networks

    Operate Computer Hardware.....I cant remember if that was an elective or a compulsory unit. But i know it definately did it. Look I think it SHOULD be a compulsory unit though. There is nothing worse than seeing people later in life in IT related studies that dont know what to do when their...

    Quick question:

    Good work! The first one was correct! 3 Types of Biometric Data on the other hand, that is a very badly written question. Are they suggesting write the types of data files that can be stored through biometric scanning or the types of devices that can scan biometric data. I think they are...

    IT Exam

    They are not meant to be hard. They are designed so that people who are not familiar with computers can pass the course and get a decent mark as well. Thats why its a BDC Category B course. In saying that, it doesnt mean that just because you know a lot about computers you can slack off. You...

    Hyperthreaded and Multicore PCs shouldnt be causing any sort of problems. I would suggest that it is your code. make sure you havent created an endless loop in your code. If you are definately sure its not the code. I would suggest that it is the compiler and not your processor. But you...

    What I learnt from this course.

    You sound like so many of the people that I knew in my IT class. Let me tell you all something. You are going to crash and burn and it is not going to be a pretty sight. If you can all get 93+ in the HSC. I will close my mouth and kiss your feet and tell you that I am sorry. But I could...
