(nah, there are at least a few users doing ITA that I know of, if you start posting up new threads and stuff with questions you might find that activity will grow from there :P)
Post by: Hackurtu on April 01, 2013, 07:59:17 pm
I am also doing ITA this year. My teacher isn't really doing much and I don't really know much about the content because it's really hard to find anything (except on this fantabulous forum of course).
As I make notes I can send them your way if you want. Also open to accepting help ;)
Wishing you well,

I'm doing apps and sd this yearAwesome. How'd you go on your first SAC? Yet to get mine back yet, but I received an average grade.

My class hasn't got our SofDev sac marked yet, or the Apps one :( I really want to know!

I got 42/50 which I'm not very happy about, My website was top notch but my theory was a let down and I got 35/40 on Softdev

still very good result but the exam end of the year would be the most important for your study score.
If anyone needs practice sacs let me know.

I made the mistake of not studying the subject at all since the SACs were so easy, and flawed me from getting a high A+ instead of the lower A+ I got. For anyone doing the subject, treat it as any other subject even though it's piss easy.
Post by: lala1911 on April 24, 2013, 01:12:59 pm
The exams seem fairly easy though. Most of it can be answered through common sense/general knowledge too, however, study is also required for a lot of questions too.

Even though U3AOS1 was worth 50 marks, our teacher marked it out of 40, I got 39/40 which I'm not sure what that is out of 50, 97.5% though.
I'm jealous of all of you who are able to do both apps and SD, my school doesn't offer SD, such a letdown since apps is soooo boring.
Post by: Hackurtu on April 29, 2013, 05:26:49 pm
Did you start with databases? They are horrible.
No, we just moved onto them. We're going so sloowly in Apps and SD! It is really disappointing. My teacher barely knows anything about databases and I've read up and we aren't even getting taught the stuff in the study design so I'm just doing what is required in class and learning everything from VCEIT. (great site incase you didn't know).
As far as the website SAC went, we haven't got that marked yet but I am really happy with how I went. I did a lot of the theory although my website was not as good as it could have been. I thought it more important to get absolutely everything down pat with the theory and think I did well :) I will post my result when I get it though.
Should also get my SD SAC back this week.
still very good result but the exam end of the year would be the most important for your study score.
If anyone needs practice sacs let me know.
I'll take you up on that ;)

Aww cmon guys, databases are the best part of ITA :)
Haha they are the best so far that's for sure. But my teacher doesn't know what she's doing and after an hour or so of looking up what to do I am confident I know more than her.
It's also annoying because we can't get a student's version of M$ Access 07 at home (I'm searching :P) but everyone at school in my class chose it because it's easy. It makes me sad :( Am I the only person who loves IT? D:

is anyone doing it apps by distance here? i was thinking of picking it up next year but idk how hard it would be?
I did Apps last year by distance, you can pm me if you have any questions about it!

Not sure how it would go with getting the programs but I think it'd be far more productive than my current class. It's just waiting for people to input data into a form -.-
Or change their database form's colours. *slowclap*
We are seriously doing nothing on the course content in class so I think you'd be fine for the theory side of it.

Sorry to hear :(
But as you pointed out, self learning is the key in this subject. In terms of relational databases, make sure you understand the following concepts:
- Primary & Foreign keys
- Referential Integrity rules
- Normalisation (VERY important)
- Relationships (1-1, 1 to many, many to many)
If you are keen to learn more about databases (beyond the scope of this subject), do a little research on:
- SQL
- Relational Algebra
- Enhanced Entity Relationship Modelling
- Transactions
- Query optimisation

If I recall correctly, there were a couple of people on this site last year that had some complaints with DECV and how they ran their IT subject (but still did well nonetheless), but it seems kezzab had a pretty good experience with them. That might be something to consider/look into, but both of the VCE IT subjects are ones that can be self learnt easily anyway.

We don't get much information, or to look at them so it's not very useful but there was only one other person in my class who got a Very High and I'm confident I would have beaten him in the theory components.
Post by: kianabelikova on October 28, 2013, 04:06:06 pm
I'm good with Apps but I hate Software and I always get bad scores in it even though they've both got similar content :/
I need help studying for the Software exams!
