I believe this is IGCSE paper from May/June 2011?
You will have to randomly find it on the internet, or that was what we were instructed to do. I think that it is extremely stupid to do this, since on the internet you will never know what is real, and what is fake. When I did the exam, I went to the first page of Google, and magic: I took the wrong information. So spend a little time looking for a reliable source of data. (This caused my probably A* or A to turn into a top B...)

Yeah, currently doing my AS levels, and I really hope neither Applied Information and Communication Technology (hooly, that's a long name for a subject once again), nor Computing have anything to do with researching factual data from the internet. I was very upset, but decided not to resit since I do not find use for IGCSE grades if I do an A-Level on the same subject later on... or should I have resat?

Edit: sorry for little off-topic
