VCE Informatics Questions and Discussion
Skumzy:
Would someone be able to explain the similarities and differences between the three acts? (Privacy Act, Privacy and Data Protection Act and Health Records Act)
The main differences I know about are where and to whom they apply to and that the Health Records Act deals predominantly with medical data. However I'm finding it hard to find a distinction between the other two acts as their content seems fairly similar. Thanks!

Hi, Aaron and the discussion group
First of all just finished my major exams only got 2 left one of them which is informatics, really worried about it. I have few questions about study scores predictions and exam revision. I enjoyed the SAT was really interesting and fun but took long time to finish.. p.s our teacher was new first year teaching year 12, she is now retiring since job is hard. Anyway i always loved IT and want to pursue my career into it. What would i need to get a 40+ study score... my scores were SAC 1 - 80%, SAC 2- 89%, SAT- 32/40. And what would be some good rdbms practice except for playing around with microsoft access and also some work for ERD diagrams.
Thanks

Being the first year of the study design, how is everyone going about exam preparation for Informatics? There's only 1 textbook and only 1 VCAA exam to refer to... anyone?

I would aim for an A+. Informatics is a very.. interesting subject. Depends on your cohort etc too. To be safe, get an A+ on the exam. That's probably the best advice I can give you. I averaged upper 90's in SACs, got an A (not an A+) and just got 40. The cohort I was in was extremely weak, I was rank 1 by a long mile. Make sure you nail key concepts like normalisation.. its a subtle point in the study design but believe me when I say year in year out this is a common error (pg. 29 of the study design).
That's awesome that you want to pursue a career in IT. It definitely needs more enthusiastic people like yourself.
Same with you EdwinJS, I would recommend looking at vceit.com by Mark Kelly. Honestly the fundamental concept of Computing hasn't actually changed THAT much. Don't be fooled by the new accreditation period. Go through the key knowledge points in the study design and find content relevant to that. Past exams from old study designs are good, as long as you get the questions that are still relevant in the current study design.
All the best :)
