Computing 9691 grading.

[ramith]

Hello

I'm doing AS level in computing, which means 2 papers (Paper 12 and Paper 22), So i just need to know, how many marks should I score for each paper to get an A? I'm just confused.

check it out, these are grade thresholds for winter 2011. p1 has low boundary whereas p2 has comparatively a higher grade boundary. hope it helps!

Both papers have EQUAL weightage and almost the same threshold (about 2 mark difference and that varies year to year). Above 50 in both papers will get u an A

Thank you guys!

there isnt any project for 9691 ?

 

[ramith]

There is a project but not for AS its the A2 project.

For Paper 22(programming techniques), is Visual Basic 2010(VB.Net) accepted....I have seen only vb6 and vb5 in marking schemes. Pls tell me soon.

but in paper 2 there isnt any project :S

but in paper 2 there isnt any project :S

I know, but we must write a program or part of it using a high level language. But I have never seen vb2010 or vb.net in marking schemes. Will i lose marks for using vb.net or vb2010?

The problem is with ur understanding bro. I clearly mentioned paper 22. Have you done computing for AS?

Well, even I have not seen .NET in marking schemes. But in the questions, they say "use a High-level programming language of your choice". I think it will be okay.

Don't you know VB 6? or VB 5? who knows what will go wrong

It will be better if you at least learn the basics of VB 6, which is much easier than .NET

and I'm sorry, I replied late.

You have to have a basic knowledge on any high level language to get through paper 22.

You can just write "Visual Basic .Net" This is ok...Trust me I have already done that in ON 2011 and got 84%
