    I Thought AS Computing sucked but still, got an AVCE IT Unit2 (ICT Serving Organisations) test today, seems a lots of fun, well off to college is a min, got to get a few drinks in before so my mind is at rest.

    Good luck hope it goes well.

    What's so bad about it? I'd much rather do Computing than Chemistry but my school is lame.

    once you have the basics down, it gets easier, then a little harder, then easier again ;)

    aaahhh... MrDT... remember our old exam antics? Giggling in Electronics after finishing in 5 minutes.... bouncing my rubberband ball in some random exam... you stabbing me in the leg with a compass (beeyach) and me returning the favour... and JJ writing "I am a fish" over and over on the computing paper, only to hold it above his head, and turn the pages each one with a different word on each page..

    I

    Am

    A

    Fish!

    Not true, you do have to pay it back.

    The longer you have the student loans the larger the interest gets on them, as soon as you start earning over the threshold (approx £10,000 a year before deductions) it is taken out of your wages.

    When i done my AS computing in may/june 2001 i though i had done rubish but was pleasently suprised (phewww), (A) and a (B in the A2 (alevel) exam.

    some tips we wer given wer to answer every question , our teacher told us never to leave any out, also put down as much info as possible, just make sure all points of the question are answered.

    i am now waiting on a response from a computing apprentship thing i signed up for, passed the aptudite tests etc but no answer yet


    Computing is such an easy subject anyway, if uy know ur stuff! but its the coursework that gets ya especially if you really start working at it properly in the last several weeks, all i can say thank goodness for teachers who extended deadlines!!!! our courseworks wer usually over 200 pages long, i had 2 do database development using 4th dimension on wait for it dont laugh on a POWER MAC PC nooooooooo:wallbash::waah: that the computers we had when i was doin A levels, best thing was to do most of my work at home.:hehe:


    also m8 wat editor u use for ur website(the guy who started this thread cant rem name)

    Computing may be boring, but its a nice easy A :)

    my exam was easy too, i even made little jokes all over the place, especially when referring to bits :) (chuckles).
