Damn I had ran out of time like only 10 minutes to do 25(c) and 28(c), shorten the answer in dot point for option topic
I wonder which syllabus point was Q16 has involve in first three topic.
And yeah, did you guys just wrote much on each answer?
Always for those people who got band6 was those who wrote many things NOT really answer the question rather than answer the question shortly.

I would think Core Topic 3, Communication Systems.

Under 'other information processes' - Processing.

Encoding/Decoding,
Digital Data,
Analog data to digital data

-> Digitising and Sampling of Audio (sound)waves

I'll quote for you,

"The wave shape of the data is encoded into a series of 0s and 1s. This processing of generating digits or numbers is called digitising. Images are digitised using such devices as scanners, and sounds are digitised using a process called sampling"

Hope that helps you toto :)

i panicked doing the first option topic i was 1/2 through when i looked at my watch and i had 30 min to go so i rushed the big mark questiong at the end and moved, probaly not the smartest thing to do

That's communications systems - analog to digital conversion.

Can you explain that last bit again please? Are you saying those who raved on with stuff that didn't answer the question got a band 6, whereas those who answered the question directly got less?

the multiple choice was really easy, i finished section 1 in about 20 mins...bloody info systems in context diagram was the longest part of the test...had to do it twice (dss and multimedia)...that makes it even worse.

I read your thread, sorry to hear about that mate. :(

Always make sure (in future, for forms and uni documents, etc) that you read everything, front and back.

Fast writing,
Knowing the theory, therefore knowing the answers and what to write.

Getting to the point, linking with the question/scenario.

Or just plain old rushing through it :)

English (Paper 2) was a day before IPT.

I came home after Paper 2, slept.
Woke up and started studying for IPT (the friday, that week).

It was also in the afternoon, so in-effect you had two days (could have crammed the morning before).

Hehe only joking "..." :)
