someone told me that the theme for the case study is supermarkets so probably this should come in the paper
Automatic stock control system
POS terminals
information kiosks

The syllabus for paper 3 contains the following topics
Stages in the creation of a project
1.The methods used to identify how the existing system operates
2.Action plans
3.Hardware and software
4.Flowcharts and pseudocode
5.Test data for use with algorithms Candidates must be able to
– suggest additional test data for use with the supplied algorithm
– justify their reasons for choosing the test data and explain what output they would be looking for.
6.The various method to implement the new system
7.Testing Strategies
8. Documentations (technical and user)
9.Evaluation
10.Advantages and limitations of adopting the new computer based system
11. should know how to use and recognise standard pseudocode key words
@ drameybaaz no need to worry, the paper will be easy and 1 hr 30 min is a lot of time for this paper.

I actually have a few notes. honestly speaking i dont think the paper will be diificult. Since the examiner him/herself has given the hint of the paper to be easy as this is the first time. Data analysis and Design is what one needs to study and its well explained in a book of Chirs Lewbater i thnk of Cambridge Olevels. I personlly find the flow diagrams difficult :unknown:

Jazakallah....
btw da specimen paper has an error...a Questions says "draw a systems flowchart" n da answer includes logics in it...!!! a systems flowchart does not hav logics like "if""then" ....
H-e-L-p-P....

 

[donor]

i dont see any logics in it

 

[donor]

study from these two booklets

 

[Xtremexx]
