ICT Doubts.

[Nabeel.Ahmad]

I just started with ICT (Information communication and Technology) a few days ago.
I am studying privately and i have my midterm exam in a few days.
I read all the theory chapters from igcseict.info
So, i'm done preparing for THEORY!

But i have no idea what to do in the Practical papers.
Don't even know what comes in them! ._.
PLEASE tell me how to prepare for them? Anyone?

 

[Nabeel.Ahmad]

try this too for video tutorials http://www.teach-ict.com/videohome.htm

Can the practical paper be prepared in one day? :/ Before the exam?

 

[Nabeel.Ahmad]

nooooooooooooo it is really hard it can be prepared in one day if u r really good in all softwares.

I don't even know the names of the softwares. :/
I should watch all those video tutorials? That's it?

 

[Nabeel.Ahmad]

after watching these videos just do past papers from 2009 to 2013 if u have any doubt u r free to ask

I should watch videos for which softwares?

 

[Nabeel.Ahmad]

in excess we dont have macros neither in access

How long will watching all these videos take?

 

[Nabeel.Ahmad]

well if u ask me really if u r a good picker then u can finish one software in abt 3-4 days

But i had planned to do all this in one day, before my practical exam. :/

 

[Nabeel.Ahmad]

i dont think so because we learning it in skool took us 3 to 4 weeks to finish one software u can only do word nd powerpoint in one day

What's the paper pattern of the Practical?
Do all softwares come?

Not all of those videos are on youtube.

 

[Nabeel.Ahmad]

Powerpoint can come in either of them.

What textbook do you use?
Depending on what book you use, preparing for a practical exam can take 2 hours to 2 weeks.
I never practice for them, just 2 hours the day before the exam, and everything's worked out fine for me.

 

[DarkEclipse]

but u know how to use all the software right

I do now, but before, for example, I knew virtually nothing about Excel. It only took me 2 hours to learn it (although my dad did help me ).

when to choose,add or not primary key in ms access.

 

[ahmed butt]

in may/june 2013 paper 21 , ms access part q27 what to put the format for number and distance.

 

[Mahmood Magdy]

when to choose,add or not primary key in ms access.

In access they wont specifically tell you to put the primary key ! However they will give you some hints. For example in the November 2012 paper 2 , they said " The VIN is the Vehicle Identification Number, and each car will have a different VIN " therefore you will add the primary key and it will have to be the VIN field . In addition to that you may add a primary key if your software requires it Hope it was useful
