IT Software Development Exam Thoughts.

[soulless One]

What was everyones chosen PDA?  I did Strawberry.

I picked the Peach, but now i think about it, it was most likely a bad choice.

I agree the algorithm was total bull! i couldn't comprehend past the first repeat until -loop. so i picked my misstake in that section as

" until Ingredient_ID > Num_ordered " (i think that was it)
i said it should of had an "=" sign for some pointless reason.

but the way i see it they give us junk, we give them more junk. (worded slightly different)!!!

Well, it had to be peach or strawberry, as they were the only two with internet (Watermelon had bluetooth, which isnt helpful for sending data remotely)

I chose strawberry over Peach for the QWERTY keyboard, Extra cell in the battery, bigger screen and faster processor.

What did you guys get for the images storage space per year? It was basic math but I think i screwed it up

60 Gigabytes.

Sections A and B are up.

Question 7
The full path to invoice b4532 is

A. invoices\b4532
B. accounts\invoices\
C. root\accounts\invoices\*
D. root\accounts\invoices\b 1245\

The others are just silly.

I did C too, but now I'm 99% sure it is D, this is because it looks like a sequential access structure now.

What did everyone else get?

Lol 60 GB.

That exam wasn't as easy as previous years. Hopefully it'll be one of those years where the cut off of A+ is low like around 70%. I got the whole algorithm question wrong!! >< Well I attempted the first part lol. Everything is okay.

[TheRisingTyrant]

I only dropped one mark on section B. Stupid hybrid networks. Who needs to learn about them anyway!?!?!?!

I doubt that.  I'm guessing an A will start from around 82-85%?

Section B was really easy, Well, I thought so.

With question three, mine was identical to his.  If you read his comment it said "A bit simple, if you ask me. Unless I've missed something!"  That exact thought was going through my head while I was doing it.

Any opinions on it?

Lol wow they're fast. Checking my answers now.

Yeh I got D....

[principe]

I got 18/20 For Multiple choice. Lol I can't believe I made silly mistakes. And I got 20/20 For Section B. And no wrong so far for Section C. Lol that's cause the algorithm isn't uploaded yet  

I doubt that. I'm guessing an A will start from around 82-85%?

I don't know about 82-85% for an A, last year the cut off for an A+ wass 85%, and the exam was easier this year.

[TheRisingTyrant]

It can't be D. They have different file names!

[Captain]

I don't know about 82-85% for an A, last year the cut off for an A+ wass 85%, and the exam was easier this year.

I thought the cut for A was 85% last year  Meh, its all the same.  Im in year 11 and don't really know how the system works yet.

19/20 according to that web site, but Im 99% sure about that question being D, so I'd say 18/20.  100% for section B, and I'm confidant about section C.

oh shit it does 2

Lol I don't get how it could be D. The b1245 is completely different to b4532. It must have been C
