Title: How much IT:A hw have you done this year?
Post by: BlueYoHo on May 19, 2009, 09:44:04 pm: I've almost been neglected IT this year... Besides working on my prototype site leading up to the SAC, I haven't done any work for it at all.

I'm just curious as to how much study other people are doing for this subject.

And for the people who've done this subject already, did you guys do a lot of regular study? Or was it just cram before the exam. I know that's not good for any subject, but I'm a tech-savy guy so I'd like to think I know a fair bit already... :P
Of course I will study like a week before a SAC and will designate time for study at the end of the year.

Post by: ell on May 19, 2009, 10:07:43 pm: Not much, but regular enough to keep the content fresh in my mind. Sometimes I'd feel guilty for neglecting it (like how you're feeling now) and I'd just add to or go over my notes.

Don't go overboard with SACs, but make sure you do at least one practice SAC and you should be fine.

Being tech-savvy will give you an upper hand for only some of the questions. If anything, common sense will help you the most in the exam.

You could probably get away with cramming last minute and still get a decent score, especially with a subject like ITA. A consistent workload spread throughout the year would give you a better chance of getting a more-than-decent score, though.

Post by: TonyHem on May 19, 2009, 10:16:50 pm: haha honestly, just did the IT:A text book questions over the year and finished that in term 3. Then just checkpoints + prac exams on the last 3 weeks before the exam. IMO - It:a barely needs any work :p

Post by: Vadnal on May 24, 2009, 10:14:05 pm: First post here, being a year 11 and taking IT:apps as my 3&4.
I feel like i've been neglecting the study of this subject, only studying a few days before the sacs.
Could've got an A+ instead of an A on the database SAC if so :(

I did it in year 11 too. TBH your year 11 subjects mean jackshit. Not saying neglect them ( I did this and it wasn't too bad) but make your 3/4 your 1st priority :p
Title: Re: How much IT:A hw have you done this year?
Post by: Vadnal on May 24, 2009, 10:25:37 pm: Yeah my methods marks have suffered due to that, but hey I got a decent mark in my 3&4 subject, which is all that matters atm right?

Out of interest, what was your enter for IT at the end of the year?

PS. I think i've found my new home (VN) ;)
Title: Re: How much IT:A hw have you done this year?
Post by: TonyHem on May 24, 2009, 10:36:20 pm: 42 and i made a mistake not related to i.t >_>
most ppl will get over 40 if they just put in a bit of effort

ps: dw about ur methods and stuff now :S
I got like 60% for my 1st methods sac in yr 11 and ended up with like 80% avrg and in the end, doesn't mean anything
1st year 12 methods sac is 100% ^_^ :P hehe bragging rofl

lol but yeah, unit 3/4 > unit 1/2

Post by: danieltennis on May 24, 2009, 10:40:47 pm: Tony, do you mind if I asked for your marks for each SAC?

Thanks.

Title: Re: How much IT:A hw have you done this year?
Post by: danieltennis on May 24, 2009, 10:50:42 pm: We are actually doing our database SAC now.

My teacher decided to do the prototype website SAC in term 1 so we can spend more time on databases since its one of the hardest part in the course.

For my prototype SAC, I got 45/50. I lost too many marks on the Analysis >:(
Title: Re: How much IT:A hw have you done this year?
Post by: Vadnal on May 24, 2009, 10:53:13 pm: Yeah markers are very particular about the analysis.

Sorry, I forget exactly
but it was an A+ for every sac
and then an A on the exam
So it was ga1: A+, ga2: A+ ga3: a
I remember my last one, it was a theory test on chapter 7/8 of the I.T:apps textbook ( like security and backups etc)
that was 38/40
IT has been removed from my brain xD

Post by: IntoTheNewWorld on June 17, 2009, 06:39:46 pm: My teacher gave some IT Apps hw at the very start of the year, but then that fully disappeared for some reason...But I got to bring all my SACs home, so that's basically HW...?
