How was the exam

[Flaming_Arrow]

i thought it was a lot harder than last year

A+ grade will go down most likely.

[Athomas]

Go down from 68/90!?

lol

[jerry]

This year's questions was so different to 2007, 2006, and the VITTA ones 

I did bad.

[ell]

Hmm, I actually felt it was similar in difficulty to last years.

The error in the algorithm was exactly the same as last year, haha!

Anyone got a copy of the exam? I didn't manage to get one.

[Flaming_Arrow]

OMFG I HAD THE RIGHT ANSWER FOR THE ALGORITHM QUESTION THEN I CHANGED IT

FKN HELL

[kaanonball]

yeah it was pretty hard... practice exams were a waste of time...

i just hope i get a scaled score of 35

[saymunzz]

i could spot the error in the algorithm but i didnt undeerstand how the bookings files worked which screwed me over =/

Yeah it was a bit weird wasn't it? I'm assuming the '3' was the Count variable, and the rest were dates for that staff member (Manfred).

I said that if it did work, the output was Manfred, and the actual result was that it output nothing.

thought it was alright... confused over the algorithm

hey, a girl doing SD! lol. Yeah it wasn't too bad of an exam I thought.

[susien7]

haha yep..
last year like 100 girls did it compared to lots of boys.
and pretty sure only 18 girls to like 200+ boys got an A+
this information makes me sad lol

but you see, i thought the three was the coordinator number or some shit like that.. coz its like read lala number from booking file..
and then add 1 to count
so 3, was manfred yeah?
but then at the end of the algorlithm, it said read coordinator name (count number) lala true/false
but theni thought it should have been coordinator name (coordinator number)

Yeah, same thing I think? I can't remember it too well, but i just assumed that the 3 meant Coordinator_name[3] = Manfred

What order did you recommend for the devices? I put Franksomethng, Mercell and Linus.

i did Mercell, Franklin then Linus

the algorlithm was evil

[hamtarofreak]

It seemed a fair bit easier than the VITTA exams I'd done, I finished with like an hour to spare =P

But I don't think I did all too well, didn't really know how to tie most of the case study questions with the case study.

Messed up a few of the short answers too I think o.O

I liked the case study algorithm though, though it was a little harder than I'd expected.

I imagine the A+ mark will stay around the same as last year.
