EXAM 2010 Opinions

[Stojad]

Looking through his answers, I think I got:

19/20 for MC (excusing his error for that image question).
67/70 for the short answer.

Total = 86/90

Mistakes:

MC Q16: Chose B, should be A (acknowledge I am wrong). (-1 mark)
6 a: Listing the records that you'd expect to get from that query (silly mistake, damn overconfidence). (-1 mark)
7 c: For designing that page that you'd expect to see, I designed one that ignored the whole login process and just showed the portal home page as if someone had logged in. Is this acceptable? I don't know. Presumably not. (-2 marks)

86/90 for IT exam is ace. probably 50 study score if u are ranked 1 in sac. GW

I think you'd get one mark if design-wise your plan was good.

I don't know. I'm either first or second. My teacher won't tell the class how they do in relation to each other (annoying for someone like me who actually cares).

It wasn't great. I didn't bother with annotations and stuff (for two marks it seemed excessive) and my design skills went straight out the window under exam pressure. I did include a little joke out of boredom, though (a graph of "student intelligence vs. time" with a trend line of e^x because I'm so cool like that).

I can't believe everyone thought that was the easiest exam. I only finished with 20 mins, and came out feeling like it went meh. Good exam though.

Yeah me too, I finished with around 20 minutes. I found it harder then previous ones, and thought it was a little less I.T theory based, more common sense. No laws, no information systems, no difficult formulas to write...

[nacho]

Yea, defs disappointed with the no laws and formulas . I knew those very well..

[chopz]

hey guys someone predict my study score please?

Section A: 16/20
Section B: 64/70
Total: 80/90
My ranking for my cohort is 6th out of 8, but we have an above average cohort.
SAC: B+

What u reckon ill get for a study score?

[mattrossi1]

Hm, I'm guessing it could be anywhere between low 30s to low 40s.  Not sure though...

Considering that the A+ cutoff for the last few years have been ~68/90 and Ell got 49 with 78/90 in 08, chopz would probably get 45+, depending on his cohort since rank is low.

[Plan-B]

Would you say this exam was easier, or last years?

Wait a 68/90 is worth 49? Wow, what is the cut-off for 50 (roughly speaking), assuming first rank in sacs?

No the A+ cutoff was 68/90 which means the top 10% of the state. (SS 39-50)
The 49 was 78/90.
