General Advice for IT Applications

[selim31]

• ITA SACs are probably the most draining SACs you'll ever do (I'm sure many will agree with me here). They're easy, but there's just so much to do. Don't neglect them though, they contribute 50% to your study score and the tasks required of you in your SACs will be very similar to the questions you'll get on the exam.

ITA SAC'S are a paine in the Ass lol

Yeah, just finished the website SAC earlier this week. The last two periods was a crazy rush... fingers got so sore. Things are looking good though, my group of friends in the class which is half of the class, (we only have 11 students and 10 of them are yr 11 lol) are the only ones that managed to completely finish it and we also had the best looking/functioning site. We've got the database SAC in about 3 weeks, I heard its the hardest one out of them all?

Not really. sadly, i stuffed up my database which resulted in rushing it. I ended up getting a B. It's a lot of work......

Personally, i dont think databases are that hard.

They sort of make sense (well at least to me) and once you do enough practice, it becomes easy.

Well yeah, i understand all the query commands and how databases work but it's the first time ever opened Access and with all the new stuff in the toolbar, it gets confusing as lol

Haha i did IT 1/2 back in 2008, its been awhile since ive touched access much as well.

Just a quick question, not threadworthy and didn't want to confuse people.

Do all answers need to be in terms of a Windows XP system specifically? Like to say to remove 'read only' I could say:
-Right click the file, go to properties, and untick 'read only'.
-chmod 777 file.ext
-Grant write access to the file
Or I could take the nix-fu further:
cp file.ext file.writeable.ext && chmod 777 file.writeweable.ext
