EXAM 2010 Opinions

How'd everyone go???

i reckon it was alright...some pretty tricky questions in the multiple choice.

[nacho]

Yep, Question 3.
It was A.
I put A.
Finished early, and changed it to D because i'm an idiot times one million.
So glad there was nothing on design tools.
Those database questions were retarded?
"how would you keep track of costs?"
I just put , create a different table (making it a relational database)
And add a "Cost per Kg ($)" field, FishFoodID field, Total cost Field, and explained out it worked..
I think i got it wrong?

[tazza]

CCTV or Keyboard swipe? I said CCTV, was a difficult question though.

And that ethics question, what did everyone recommend as a strategy for the IT staff?

[Plan-B]

I thought it was alot harder then previous years.. I already got 1 multiple choice wrong and that damn query criteria question. It was 'Or' not 'And'. Made tons of careless mistakes. Sigh....

I said add a new field called Cost per Kg, and then created a calculated field which multiplied cost per kg and the amount of kg of food per week field (it wasn't called that but you get the gist)

I think I did fairly well. I forgot to include arrows on the Gantt chart but apparently I won't be deducted marks says my IT teacher. He says as long as the tasks are in the right order it's fine.

[nacho]

Plan-B, you say that now, but then you get a study score of 48.
LOL.
Did anyone find that it took longer to do?
I only finished 15 minutes early, but i was really happy because my handwriting was really neat.

Oh btw, the Gantt chart, it didnt take up all the squares right?

[ttn]

Lol damn, I chose encryption, didn't know wth was keyboard swipe.
Think I stuffed that database qn too, I said to add two more fields lol.... (what tazza said, exactly)
Didn't know what content sensitive help was so made shit up.

CCTV or Keyboard swipe? I said CCTV, was a difficult question though.

i chose encryption software am i wrong ?

[nacho]

LOL we alll got it wrong?
dammnit, and too think, i HAD it right.
Thank god for Swinburne practice exam, for the VPN one. I was seriously screwed.

[ttn]

What about the gantt chart arrows, did you draw arrows from task B to the other two tasks as well?
Did D and E have predecessors as B,C?

I think the answer would have been keyboard swipe as CCTV refers to physical security.
Also encryption refers to the security data electronically.
CCTV wouldn't be able to monitor unsuccessful login attempts and encryption can't either.
That's why I chose A keyboard swipe

CCTV or Keyboard swipe? I said CCTV, was a difficult question though.

And that ethics question, what did everyone recommend as a strategy for the IT staff?

I put CCTV too! Are we right?
It was pretty strange..

I said they should refer to the code of conduct and inform their boss. I thought it was a pretty weird question..

Also, did anyone notice there was not a single privacy principle used?
And so many marks on backups..

[schnappy]

I was going to go down the 'create a new field with cost per kg and multiply' but I was taught that calculations can only be done on a 'report'. During prac work I found that to be the case... so I explained 'create a report, multiply all these things together, and defind the cost per kg' in short.

I chose keyboard swipe for question 3 I think it was. Even though i have no idea what it is, It couldn't have been the others. It was not encryption. If you understand what encryption is, beyond the VCE level, you'll know it's definitely not encryption.

[nacho]

yea it was definitely keyboard swipe

Encryption = scrambles data
CCTV = closed circuit television - VIDEO monitoring, used in convenience stores, etc
Anti-virus = god why did i put this down?
