I put primary keys because they all had keys on them.. I have no idea lol

[Jeremys]

hmmm. I thought the relationships weren't between the primary keys though. We'll see when the images get uploaded.

That's the working picture. He seems to have the wrong dir.

guys just a quick question.... looking at the 07,08,09 statistics reports to check the mean and A+, A, B+ etc. ranges.... i was just wondering what do you guys think the cut off will be for A+??
its obviously depending on how hard the paper was, i thought it wasnt to bad but im still not sure as alot of them are all the same for me,

for 2007 A+ was 143 - 180
for 2008 A+ was  135 - 180
for 2009 A+ was  135 - 180

what do people think will it stay at about 135? or be about 140 cos it wasnt to difficult?

[chopz]

personally i predict it will go to 130 or stay at 135.

[Jeremys]

I reckon it could sneak up t0 145. Was definitely easier than previous years.

farkk, according to what Mark Kelly has got for answers right now, lost about 8 marks already.

stuffed up documentation, the food cost in database and role of NOS, I just wrote: controls network traffic?

[chopz]

i lost 5 marks in multiple choice, wow....

[papertissue]

I think the markers will be a little more lenient for this one.
A lot of the questions were very vague.. I mean, "State two types of tests" ? :/

How did you guys go on MC?

[ttn]

got 19/20  
Damn stuffed up the keyboard swipe qn....


For the 'state two types of testing' qn

I wrote similar stuff to what MK wrote as the second option, the testing if it gives accurate results stuff.

[chopz]

i did existence and range test, then explained each test.

[ttn]

Lol I didn't even read the qn properly, didn't know they had limits on tickets.

I think the database question is really up for interpretation, especially when you look at his past post-mortems and compare those with the answers from the examiners report.  A good example of this is his preference for named ranges over absolute cell references.

In general terms, a NOS could control network traffic, though it would depend on the specifics they are after.

Looking at the multiple choice, I only counted one or two questions that I could have lost marks on, so I'm happy

19/20 too. I wrote informal and formal tests.. I mean, they did say TYPE, right? :|
