IT Software Development Exam Thoughts.

I found some of the questions quite difficult! UGH!

Im with you, it was way longer than last years just got it finished. The algorithm question was fair hard, didnt even fill in that table. Dam was really hopeing for a 40 in this subject.

Was the course much different from last year's? I did Information Systems last year, and am wondering how different the IT: Software Development course is now.

You might still be able to get a 40

It seems as though the hardware aspect of the previous cource isnt really part of the SD course. Their wasnt many questions on Hardware at all. Theres 3 parts now, A - Mult Choice B - Short C - Case study

Hummm, looking on last years theirs still some questions that were similar 2 today's exam. I guess its more to do with the software side of IT now? or mabey they just didnt examine it this year.

[divinity]

I think they do more software side of things now. Hence software development. Anyway what score on the exam do you think everyone will need to get 40 raw.

There was that hertz question, like only one question on networking () and everything on PDAs/laptops/phones. I think they're just going to tie it in with the design specifications of the software a lot more, that's all.

Woohoo!
I think. Haha.

I got it all finished with 20-30min to spare... might have rushed some questions and I felt like I was repeating myself on a few things. Maybe I was, maybe I was meant to? I wouldn't know - I spent most of that spare time trying to work out that algorithm :?. Looking back I probably would have been better off looking over everything else. I know I messed up that data type question too - integer, 1D array, 2D array, yeah? That's not what I wrote for the latter two, but it makes sense. Don't think it'll be another 49 here, unless I somehow managed to get everything else perfectly... :roll:.

A 40's probably still quite possible dude. You could've got ~42 last year dropping up to 15 marks in the exam, and you guys seem to think it was harder, which could mean even more lee-way, so it's not all bad!

I found the exam really hard aswell, I know I screwed up two questions in multiple choice, They were so obvious too, when I looked at them a second time (I got a blank copy of exam, after exam).

What was everyones errors in the algorithm? I said that "Product_Recipes(Product_ID, Ingredient_ID)" needed to be "Product_Recipes(Ingredient_ID, Product_ID)"

Did you guys manage to find the 'logic error'? In the picture which had something about incoming message

I just said it was the fact that a message would be rejected, which it should be a "remind me later button" or sumthing similar. What you have?

I just said that it didn't have any info about sender or subject and to put more info on there like 'message from fred: 17 more loaves needed' or something. Did u guys just say 0 for the second two actual results in the test table?

I said 0, but some other people said N.A.  Because it wouldn't output any data, because it was looking in an invalid field.

And for that message, I wrote the logic error was it didn't say who the sender was.

[Trigger_003]

Yeah I said that there was no indication of WHY he'd want to accept or reject the message as he was not informed of the contents - solution: include details of subject and sender of the message within the box.

[dxb]

well i got that wrong lol

[Trigger_003]

Haha I stared at it for a while, don't worry.
My friend read 'HAS' received a message and initially wrote something along the lines of he can't reject it because he's already got it. Fortunately he changed his answer to something more serious bahaha.

I was thinking about writing that, then realised it was a crappy answer.

What was everyones chosen PDA?  I did Strawberry.
