thanks jimmyLink in the original post has also been fixed for convenience sake.
Information Processes and Technology will always have a special place in my heart. As difficult as it is to bid farewell to IPT, the implementation of the new Enterprise Computing syllabus makes sense given that the IPT syllabus will be 15 years old by 2024 and that technology is always changing/advancing.
With that being said, while the 2024 HSC cohort will not get the opportunity to experience this new syllabus (and I definitely understand that you and other students in your cohort may not be happy about this), keep in mind that you retain the ability to access and use existing material that will help you throughout the current IPT Preliminary course and (especially) HSC course. Given that the 2024 HSC cohort will sit the last IPT HSC exam, you guys will have the widest possible selection of notes and past exam papers of any IPT HSC cohort that ever completed the subject. There is also the emotional factor which is the fact the 2024 HSC cohort will sit the last IPT HSC exam in itself.
It is also important to note that despite the age of the IPT syllabus, IPT is not an entirely outdated subject. In fact, several concepts that the current syllabus covers are still relevant and are likely to continue to be relevant in the long term. IPT can therefore still provide you with a solid technological foundation that you can further support by taking Software Design and Development in your particular case. If you approach this subject in an effective way, I am certain that your experience of taking IPT will be pleasant.
All the best!
this makes trying for a state rank very enticing
thanks again jimmyIt does indeed. Best of luck, you can definitely make it happen!
Wait when you mean 2024 HSC Cohort, does that mean people sitting the HSC in 2025 can't do the old IPT?Link in the original post has also been fixed for convenience sake.

That is correct. The 2025 HSC cohort will be the first cohort to complete the new Enterprise Computing syllabus and sit the first Enterprise Computing HSC exam.
NOOOO
Damn it, I was considering IPT! I might try enterprise computing then. Oh and apparently software design and development is also changing to software engineering.
software is changing to software engineering - my friend does both ipt and sdd and she said they're completely revamping both subjects since nesa deems them to be too out-of-date (which makes sense, she was talking about how they still had to learn about floppy disks in the sdd course), i think the new ipt will encompass a lot of newer skills such as excel (not sure if that was in the old syllabus, but she said it's going to be a larger part of it)NOOOO
imo SDD is fine (floppy disks seem moreso like something in IPT, unsure).
according to my friend the last time both sdd and ipt syllabi were revamped was like 20 years ago lol, so i'm not surprised. this should have come ages ago
They do that with Science Extension so it couldn't be too bad I guess.It's an electronic exam. I mean I know it's a technology subject, but it still feels off to have hsc exams be electronic.
