IT Software Development Exam Thoughts.

Oh yes I see where your coming from. Damn I didn't think about it that way. Hmmm, since they said the full path I thought it referred to as the file's actual directory on the hard disk. But yes I think you might be right. I haven't see a tricky question like this from VCAA.

Like I said, I hope I'm wrong because I chose C too, but its more logical that D is correct, with the layout of the diagram.
Fitness:
Found it relatively easy. Except the algorithm question and the new email question.

Strawberry too... it makes more sense. On a screen size that big it would be hard to work with a touch screen for that type of data input.
If it was D, it should have specified that the file access was sequential. How do you think they would havewritten it if it was random access? There's no other way they could have presented the folder tree to indicate one over the other. I think I remember a question similar to this in the old IPM exams, and back then it was simply a case of file directories. I don't see why it would be any different this time.
Trigger_003:
BAHAHA Q8 MC I did floating point instead of string - I didn't see the T.
Lol I agree with him for Q14... what was the point?
And Q3 as well... some of these questions were so simple they made me sit there for ages wondering if I'd missed a point. Anyone else?
I'm glad he put down customers too - that was a bit iffy. Essentially the system interacts directly with the drivers, and then they should have a process leading to the customer entity, but seeing as the drivers are just passing the information onto the customer I figured they could have been seen as part of the system...?
2c - didn't even think of his answer. I think I did recipe ingredients - number made should be quantities required... argh.
I never thought I'd see the day I'd have to write 'cake is not data' on a VCE exam :wink:.

According to his answers, I can only see a total of 8 marks lost. But I'm estimating about 9-14 marks lost, because I don't agree with all his answers.
Expecially Section C, Q2, part A. It has to be DFD C, not A. The data flow of ingredients getting low is just a dead end. It goes into the process, but nothing is done with the data. Doesn't make sense. Data going into a process, must be manipulated in one way, or another.
And yes. Section B, Q3 I was just sitting there thinking "Have I missed something, this is too easy"

So your saying it was C? I was looking again today, and thinking it has to be C again. If it was sequential it would be represented one after the other, instead of branched off like it is.
So I hope its C, cause thats what I chose. Honestly, I'm just not sure about that question.
