Sdd is really a course where you use alot of reasoning to get ur answers. Thus by crapping on, you can pass....
I got 71% for SDD trial, no study....absolute common sense
So, if anyone studies this, you mights get higher.

Depends on how much general knowledge you know, eg, some ppl in my class 'think' they know shit about sdd in general, and eng up <30% :p, and I managed a mark similar to yours using my general knowledge, so yes I think it's possible, but try and study a little, and get >85 :), thats what im doing :D

It depends a lot on application skills as well. Like say they ask you to draw a flow diagram. You arne't going to know how to do it just by knowing the symbols. You need to analyse the situation and everything. Which is what I hate. Bring on the theory questions and I can get 85+ :(

I reckon SDD is heaps easier then IPT. I got just over 80% with the trial (ok, it was easy) but IPT is in another language! It's full on bullshit!

100 is more preferable for me.

But obviously I won't get it.

I wouldn't mind a mark between 65-75 as raw. That's probably the best I can do with this crappy course :p

I would love an 80+ raw mark, but I'm not sure if I could get it. Damned algorithms. :(

I disagree... software aint a breeze, it takes a year of listening....

I think what your trying to say is... listening in class without studying can get u 60%...

I really hope they focus on algorithims this year coz im trying my hardest and studying them... Generally the theory rocks compared to other subjects...

I've heard SDD is way harder than IPT... is this true?
