Just had a bad exam. It was ICT (information and communication technology, so basically computers) and I was doing gr8, 2 hr exam+I finished the paper with 20mins 2 go, started checking thru my answers, yup fine, 5 mins gone, 15 mins 2 go
Look down
HOLY COW!
Turn over back page

OMFG

20 mark question (25% of papers marks) on back page
aaaaaaaargh

Difficult question bout internet regulation

Needless 2 say I didnt do very well at that part...wrote about a page, reckon i got bout 8 marks for it

What were the questions about? ... sorry I don't know, skipped that class

The final question was:

There are no laws governing the worldwide use of the internet, so it is left up to the e-business industry

#state what might need to be regulated on the internet
#How you might achieve this
#what problems might occur

Awww, i wouldnt worry about it Becca as i reckon you would have done fine on the rest of the questions...

Does the ICT have any coursework with it? That will help ya out...

yes my coursework was crap too, owing to that fact I knew nothing about databases and I had to make 1....and I did it in a week instead of 2 terms
It was a B/C grade
Could've been better
there was a time when I actually cared..........

I got a C grade in ICT GCSE, there were some really awkward questions in there

This is TOTALLY off topic (Sorry becca hon), but...I'm sitting at work, and I just bursted out laughing. Aaron, your avatar cracks me up. I don't know why. And sadly, I actually think you look like that! Even though I know it's Bill Gates. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: I'm really really sorry guys. But I just couldn't help it, and this would have been a useless topic

Those questions are off-topic and quite stupid.

i wouldnt worry about it too much, i had my GCSE business studies exam the other day, and it was an exam that actually lasted for the entire 2 hours, i answered every question, and then i didnt have time to answer the last questions on the last page unfortunately...

apparently the questions were, what piece of hardware do u need to connect to the internet, what software do u need to view web site, and what can Anita do to make sure her files dont contain viruses.

obviously by far the easiest questions on the paper but still, i didnt get round to anwering them, doh, worth 10 marks also out of a possible 120 on the paper.



keep ur chin up

I'd be grinning from ear to ear if I were Bill Gates.

Oh! I thought that was his (AaronXP's) real picture.
Silly me.

LOL I did for a while too

Poor u john. My friends were telling me bout when they did their business studies+they said they never finished their papers either.

I got a B@GCSE IT and I was supposed 2 get an A*, but we had really bad teacher and cos I was top of the class she kinda overlooked what I could ACTUALLY achieve.........
She left shortly after that and now we have our school sys admin guy teaching us A-level ICT, he's rubbish+he smells And there were only 2 of us doing ICT

Just done my AVCE ICT exam... doing another year of it next year... bit boring really

Everybody else in class is learning how to use MS Word to make webpages... IM A LITTLE PAST THAT STAGE

He, I never took a class and you would not believe who and where I learned computers and the internet. In my day there were no classes except COBOL and fortran. I never saw a DOS prompt till 1982 or 83. Thank God it pays the bills anyway

Ha ha, i know what ya mean... I used to get the same thing in my class, when i told my teacher i could build computers he laughed and didnt believe me, lol...

That GCSE Business studies was a bit hard...

The ICT exam was soooooo easy, lol...

ICT A-level is flippin' business studies virtually
These past 2 years the only things we've learnt about computers is what our teacher has showed us off-syllabus...
I just say "look, this topic is boring, can we please do something interesting"
and naturally I got it my way because he's young+can't control me muhahahahahah
I'll never forget the day he got really angry:
"Rebecca (even he only says that hideous word when he's angry), give me 10 reason why faceparty.com is relevant to your A-level"

errrr.....

like most exams in school

sorry to hear that.. i don't think i could answer them myself..

that question is quite stupid, i think i woulda failed it, ya poor thing bex, i feel sorry 4 ya having to do an exam like that

LOL, i think the only reason they do that is so they dont have to pay out for other Software like Macromedia software etc....

cheapo budgets.

Also someone got banned off the school pcs the other week for using Notepad

notepad? WTF? why?

maybe its really a brute force hacking device ?

Yeah notepad, yes everyone hacks with that.....................????

lol hmm.. ya its such a swiss army knife of a program.. can make txt documents

not forgetting that lethal html........

Notepad is amazing so dont knock it
