To be honest the papers were really easy if you did the May/June 2011 past papers cause both the Practical Test A & B were similar to that of the May'June session. But, I didn't do any of the May/June session papers cause I kept procrastinating my studies as usual & in the end I had to rush through everything The only paper I did was the 2007 specimen. But, sadly, it wasn't similar to that paper one bit the theory wasn't that similar to May/June session but still it was okay I screwed up Excel as I took picked the World record holders instead of the Olympic Record holders I'm so stupid :x I hate my self now :x Also, I didn't know the power point presentation would come up in Practical Test A :shock: So, I messed that one too. I also didn't study label but that came :evil: The funny thing is, I studied the power point presentation really hard for practical Test-B but that didn't come
The total mark for this exam is 300 But, they total your marks to 300 looking at the weight age of each paper. Paper 1 theory is out of 100 & has a weight-age of 40 % of the total grade. Practical Test-A is out of 80 & has a weight-age of 30 % of the total grade. Practical Test-B is out of 80 & has a wight-age of 30 % of the total grade.
How did you find your papers?

i did well in the practical papers however in paper B i think i ve messed up the IF function in the excel part
and the theory paper it was okay however i didnt study well the input and output devices as it only came as true
and false questions in the pastpapers and to my shock
there was this question worth 9 MARKS!! and asked to describe how these devices(OCR,OMR,MICR) work with giving an example for each :shock: i was really crushed when i saw this question

Well, its good that you did well for the practical papers as they have more weight-age than the theory paper. Actually, to be more precise, the practical papers combine have a weight-age of 60%, where as, theory paper only has a weight-age of 40% So, don't worry, you'll still get a pretty decent grade as you only messed up the theory paper. Well, our teach always tells us to study the input & output devices well cause she always tell us that it'll definitely come for the exam. So, I studied it well but in my paper it came in the true or false format. I guess that is because my variant was 12 & not 11. OMG :shock: for 9 marks, well that is a first :shock: But, don't worry if the paper was too hard then the grade thresholds will be low. So lets hop for the best What is your next exam?
