dont forget two option topics
i got mine

 

[Jerruy]

dont we do all the option topic questions?

 

[pritnep]

No and unless it is has changed since 2004 the paper says pick 2 topics and do all the questions under those topics e.g. Multimedia and DSS were my two option topics. You simply won't have the time nor knowledge to answer all option topics - hence the name option.

also reason as a reminder on which two your doing a friend of mine did the wrong one and got laughed at and his response at why he did that one "wasnt thinking"

hey,
i know the calculation for mutlmedia liek image, video, audio size.. but how do u do a database size calculation..infact last night i saw it on the 2006 hsc paper and i didnt understand how to do it.. can someone help me please? thanks!

You add the field lengths together, you then multiply that by the amount of records as the fields together represent one record. The calculation goes like this (for the 06' paper):

25 + 15 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 10 x 200 / 1024

Note: i did not divide by '8 x 1024' because in a data dictionary the lengths are already in BYTES, and thus to get it into kilobytes one divides by 1024.

Social and Ethical will definately come up.
Also, maybe something about putting an information system in contex.
Data correction and error checking will definately come up.
There will probably be a question on networking hardware and/or network topologies.
And of course, we need to be familiar with the project development cycle.


Also, I haven't even began to study. But I'm about to.

 

[jwkhan]

thanks for the answer to the 06 exam!! realli helpful..
now with the social/ethical.. mmm u reckon the most would b like a 4/5 marker on tht?

 

[Starcraftmazter]

I would pick 4 marks.

I <3 afternoon exams

 

[Starcraftmazter]

I <3 afternoon exams

Agreed. You can actually get a decent morning's sleep.


Also, bloody hell, how is it that everyone is complaining about teachers? Are there seriously teachers that are so bad, they can't teach the courser properly, even though they hold the necessary qualifications as a result of studying what they tech, or is it just students slacking off?

This is a very serious pattern if it's the teachers, as if it is true then there is a serious problem with Australia's capability to teach generations of IT students - IT - a profession which is apparently in high demand.

SERIOUS SHIT HERE PEOPLE!!!! :burn:
