Mark Kelly's Section A answers are up, he has a couple different answers to Excal, IMO I think Excal is correct.

WHERE! lol.

Under the dead feet with the ITA and SD tags on them. And across from the My IPM/ITA post mortems, under 2008 (In Progess)

LOL yeh I saw that yesterday, but there's no real answers yeh? You were just joking haha?

The only difference is in question 12. I disagree with his answer because a drop down (a list of values would be a better term...) on IDs is not particularly meaningful to the user while a LOV of titles actually *can* be exhaustive and has some value.

The system that quite a few Universities use to manage their students (Callista) certainly uses a LOV/drop down list for titles.

haha I agree.. can't believe he chose D :S:S... HEAPS of forms have drop down lists for the title field.. I got 18/20 (maybe 19 if its UTP and not wireless).

Yeah, I sent him an email about it.

Seems Kelly has changed his mind about question 16:

Answer is: C.

CAT5? That's as outdated as Britney Spears' reputation. While one would normally automatically go for CAT cable, the key words (I discovered after some rethinking) were "from any location". This implies wireless rather than cabled.

And first 4 short answer questions are up.
Gosh if we were as slow as him, we wouldn't be able to finish the paper in time j/k

EDIT: up to 7 are done.

Mark Kellys: 2008 VCAA Exam Post Mortem (http://www.mckinnonsc.vic.edu.au/vceit/postmortems/2008ita/index.htm)

All in all, a better exam than some in the past, but a bit too easy in section A.
On the other hand the dog got a few unnecessary treats this year with the ambiguous expression we've come to expect in ITA exams.
Thank you linesmen. Thank you ballboys. And thanks to everyone who provided valuable and thoughtful feedback.
You are as clever as a crate of cognoscenti,

And a shout to all at vcenotes.com. Keep up the clever chatter, guys.
I admire the mature level of discussion I have seen so far.
I lurk, from time to time, in my cloak of invisibility.

He must have a few levels in the 'Lurk' ability.
