Title: IT Applications
Post by: moneyman on November 07, 2009, 08:07:32 pm
Who is ready for the exam?
To me it all seems like general knowledge, no real need for study, based on my results from '07 and '08 VCAA exams and a Nelson IT paper.

What do you guys think?

I.T has a habit for shocking people. I did EXACT same as you, in that "theres no reaosn to study", you only THINK this because 90% of your SACS= practical/computer based.

Trust me!

I think you should focus on formulas on excel etc, they ALWAYS tend to stuff up people, and just do a few quesitons, look through your book.

Coz tbh, yeah I.T doesn't have much to study, all common sense.

oh btw, that explains the DESCALING of 4-5 marks =.=*

LOL, "surge protector"...."backups"...."what is a virus"

=.=*

The ethics and privacy is also imperative! They tend to use it in mutiple choice, with sometimes  short answer.


This is from a person who also did software in year 10 and 11. so don't worry, its easy :D

IT:A is more about high level business issues of applying IT. The more hardcore IT stuff was in SD...
