NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
never do that cuz wen u say read u will skim and until u dont write it down u wont be as confident
and wen readind mscheme u might mix qustions
so do one thing check which variant ur giving and solve only that variant first of onesession
for eg if u r giving variant 1 do winter session for all years
wen u r done do all summer years but only that variant
onece ur done with that revise it all read ur notes syllabuz and any other notes u prepared
then go do the rest of the variants
OK

Thankyou so much, ICT-Master. :p
Okay, i'll do all these papers. ^-^

one more th
There are 6 variants in one year.
From 2010 to 2013, that would make a total of 24 papers.

But do i have to write the answers down? Can't i just read the marking schemes and the book?
ing i dont want to scare u but pastpaers arent always very easy

Take a few print outs of recent past papers and open mark scheme plus your textbook and any other notes you have and then
FOR THEORY PAPER !
1-Read the question carefully
2-underline the thing they want(always helps me)
3- Read what it says in notes and textbook and compare with mark scheme and choose the most relevant points!
(I am saying to check the mark scheme because all points might not be in the textbook and this sometime mark scheme has more simple answers)
4-Write down the points make sure your sentences are linked to case given (if any)
5-Make sure you write complete sentences and not phrases !
6-Read your answer IT MUST MAKE SENSE and be direct so that the examiner does not hesitate to give marks
7-learn your answer in away you will remember it and when you do the next paper if the same question repeates DONT BE OVERCONFIDENT do it ! it will be
like test of how much you know and remember.

try all variants dont leave out any question after doing two years do the third one as a test do not sneak peak into marking scheme and TIME yourself


FOR PRACTICAL PAPERS ! P2-P3
1-Make sure you what they wand you do to (for eg. you are going to create a a presentation for a company means you will work with MS powerpoint)
2-Download a few years question papers mark schemes and supporting files
3-got to youtube,then open your question paper and read the first part,then type the year and paper in youtube search bar and watch a tutorial and do it step by step follow the video!
4-After you are done with one software for eg WORD part dont continue the same paper go and do the word part for 2 more papers by yourself!
5-check answers with markscheme accurately
6-repeat this for all softwares dont miss any parts of questions and note down the time you take


for excel read question carefully and try to make up formula dont memorise you might confuse yourself but by reading the q find out which formula to use
and what they hav provded

DONOT GET DISTRACTED ON YOUTUBE OR INTERNET CUZ THERE IS LESS TIME
try to finish AT LEAST 2007-2013 all variants ans sessions
I can give you some answers if you would like me to send it through email

Can any ICT genius out there answer my queries:

- Which Email thingy should i use? For the communication tasks? Gmail?

With GMAIL i always get the problem, that they don't show the CC separately to the TO and the BCC portion. Examiner might cut marks there.

Some people use a software right? like OUTLOOK? Should i download that?

- In POWERPOINT, when they ask to give TRANSITION EVIDENCE. We have to go to SLIDE SORTER, and take a screenshot of those stars. All those starts don't show. Only the one where we drag the pointer towards is shown. How to fix this? i use OFFICE 2007. I heard this problem is not there in OFFICE 2010.

- In ACCESS, where to we insert the candidate details in REPORTS? How to we deduce this?

- How to make that SUMMARY thing in access?

- Should i read ICT PRACTICAL NOTES from somewhere, or the book? Or just practice past papers?

Please Reply!

- For the e-mail, have a few options instead of just one e-mail id. Go for Yahoo and Hotmail as well because sometimes, servers are down which creates problems and unwanted delays.

- What do you mean by that? Doesn't it show a star with each slide? I use Office 2007 and it is showing the stars.
All you need to show is a star with each slide. If that appears, it's fine.

- Go to 'Design View' and write the candidate details in the 'Page Footer' in a text box of course. Two boxes will appear when you create a text box there. Use the small box that says 'Text.." not the one that says "unbound".

For the Summary:
- Make a query including all the data.
- Select that query and go to Create > Query Wizard > Simple Query Wizard.
- Select only the fields that you want in your summary. Click "Next". There, it will ask "Would you like a detail or summary query?" Select "Summary".
- Then, click "Summary Options..." and select the whatever you are asked to calculate (sum/average, etc).
- Then, click "Next" and select "Modify the query design" option.
That's all.

Practising past papers is a better option because the notes do not contain everything and not everything is relevant there. :)
