What did you guys write about the 40MB GIF file and the 250 GIF files a year they had on the harddrive?

I believe it was on average 1000 GIF files a year because they send 250 sets and each set has on average 4 GIF files.

Each GIF is around 40mb so 1000GIF files would take up 40000mb or 40GB of disk space. Add the 16gb for the software and you would need a minimum of 56GB disk space to store a years worth of data. (Or at least that was how I reasoned it)

how do you guys manage to remember all the multiple choice answers O_O or did you like write it down

I wrote my MCQ answers on the case study insert and took that home with me.

Ow i remember that
(40*250) + (12*1024) =  22 288 Mb
22288/1024 =  21.765625 Gb
 
12*1024 <---- the comp already had 12 Gb used & i converted it into Mb by *1024 so it would be easy to add
then i converted the total to Gb cause the question asked to leave it in gigabytes

Yer this.
And as for the hard drive one, i got a total of 56GB i think, 40GB for files for 1 year, and 16GB for the software on it or whatever.
Memory is bad as tonight, so correct me if I'm even thinking of the wrong question.

Wow, i really should learn to read questions clearly :/

If i got an average of a B to B+ on my SACS, what would i need on the exam to get a study score of 30, if you guys have any clue?

im no expert (& only year 11) but a B+ is pretty decent in the SACs?
You wouldnt need to get too high on the exam id imagine to get a 30 since your SD study score is 50% SACs 50% Exams

To get 30 you need around the median scores for each GA.

GA STATS - 2008 - http://vcaa.vic.edu.au/vcaa/vce/statistics/2008/section3/vce_software_develop_ga08.pdf

Last year for exam you would need a mid C+ (45.5/89) ~51%
2009/2010: Mathematical Methods(non-CAS) ; Business Management | English ; Literature - Physics ; Chemistry - Specialist Mathematics ; MUEP Maths

96.85

2015-____: To infinity and beyond.

Hmm...I definitely put A for QN 9.
I thought a Procedural Manual had to do with the system as a whole, and not just one piece of software..but I dunno ><

On a side note, what do you guys think 96% for SACs and a (low) A on the exam would get me?
