I guess you just made it. Only one thread is really needed anyway.

Did anyone else find the exam too easy? I didn't need to cite any legislative acts, privacy principles... I was hoping for a hard one since I had remembered so much. I'd be surprised if I get less than A+.

Yeah, where exactly was all the privacy legislation stuff? Just a couple of boring questions about ethics. Also, Cheryl's boss is a dick.

Yeah it was pretty easy. Some stupid questions tho..
Does anyone have their MC answers, here are mine, but no guarantee they are right.

CACABDCBAACBADABBDDC

All the relationships were between common fields in different tables.

I was really bummed that they didnt have any privacy stuff seeing that i spent ages memorising the 11 principles. Other than that i think the exam was pretty good and quite easy.

And by the time there was 40 minutes left there were only 8 or so people left in our room which means better for us!

Was B the encryption option? I didn't choose that one because it asked which would be the best for detecting an unauthorised login, rather than preventing one, which is the aim of using encryption, firewalls, etc.

Yeah Q4 was the one on conventions for reports, i think that question ur talkin bout was for Q3 that too was an absolute slut of a question. I chose A, i think, a keyboard swipe or somethin like that, LOL no idea wat it is.

What did you all write for the disadvantage for team members in using a VPN?
I said the students or schools could gain access to the members data as they are part of the network. Have no idea if its right  :-\

Q4. i got B tho, coz reports have to hav a title dont they?
Title: Re: Where's the IT applications board?
Post by: Stojad on November 09, 2010, 06:14:57 pm
I don't really know, haha. I went more for the totals being bold and the alignment of numbers, etc. I think B states that the text should be right-aligned, when usually numbers should be right aligned. Also, it stated that the title should be in bold (rather than present in general) so I assumed it was specifying that rather than it being the only report there that has a title.

Yeah, this is kind of hard without a scanned copy, so:

HEY GUYZ SCAN'D COPY PL0X.

At my school, about 20 students sat the exam and at 5:15 there were 3 people left -_-

I did this subject distance ed style so I was at another school then the one I go to for my exam. I finished with around 30min to spare but since no one in the room had left I didn't want to be the first so I just sat there for 30min doing nothing...

I don't know how you guys can remember your answers of your multiple choice without having the questions infront of you.

I thought it was pretty easy compared to previous years exams which was a nice change. For one of the later short answer questions there was something to do with a flat line database or a relative database (i can't remember what the second one was called). Interested to see which one you guys choose as I had never heard of either before the exam so I chose the 2nd and made up some stuff with it.  :)
