@paphitisn Месяц назад

Thank you for your comment. It means alot. This tutorial was designed to help students understand the theory paper and how to answer questions. This is the most important thing and it seems you have fully understood this. There is no miracle tutorial that you can watch and you will be able to answer any question. The knowledge comes from you. How you show evidence that you have the knowledge is what this tutorial is about. Thankyou for comming back to leave your feedback. Good luck with your exams and i hope you get the grades you are aiming for.

Hi sir, It has been a while. I had to come back to thank you for your highly insightful videos especially for the practical exams. It was really disappointing to miss out on paper 2 because of the terrible weather here a while ago, but I think it's safe to say (no exaggeration) that I aced paper 3... I came out of the exam thinking about any of the possible mistakes I could have made, but to my surprise there were most-likely none upon discussion with my friends because I was able to finish the paper about 40 minutes before the timer ended so I was able to go through the whole paper again and regain approximately 10 marks I was close to losing. Theory on the other hand was a different story when I completely messed up on a question about pilot and parallel or something along those lines (it was a systems topic which I'm a bit horrible at) and then the other questions were alright. I'm only hoping to get over 50% for this paper -but I would have done worse if it weren't for your tips you gave in this video. Would you know how they make the considerations for students who missed out on paper 2 when handing out the grades? On a final note, this is probably the last ICT related thing I will do at school and maybe the last time I will need your help, so thank you again for your support with these videos, there are still thousands of students moving on who will need your help too, so please do provide your support at least for the next few more years!

@Wheatenloki 7 месяцев назад

Hello, sir, I have a question. How holistic is the grading for the theory paper? Do examiners rigidly follow the marking scheme or is it a bit flexible? Also, is the Hodder textbook good enough for ICT Theory for 2024 examinations?

@paphitisn 7 месяцев назад

They follow the mark scheme but there are elements which students may elaborate on which are not in the mark scheme but will be considered if the student has demonstrated a reasoned answer with knowledge on why they have answered the way they have. The mark sheet will on some questions say, or relevant answer so this is down to examiners discretion if the student has demonstrated knowledge.

@mohkh7610 2 месяца назад

When I am solving the paragraph style questions usually the 4-8 mark ones, if I answer in a paragraph based way not bullet point based does the examiner have the right to judge whether some sentence is a point so they can judge whether that point is correct or will they just look for the correct points and mark them?

@paphitisn 2 месяца назад

Examiners are trained to mark positively but if you are asked to identify a 3 points then they will only look at the first 3 not all of them, even if the first 3 are wrong and the others are correct, for obvious reasons. In an long form answer, if you give reasoned arguments then you get the marks. if for some you do not give a correct response you will not get the marks, so it is a bit more flexible. As examiners we are looking for evidence that you know what you are writing and why. If we see that then there is flexibility. if not and you are randomly putting any answers with a hope that one is right you will not get any marks.

@Mujtaba-ff6ek 2 месяца назад

hi sir, i have a question/doubt from the march 2024 paper 12. Compare a test strategy with a test plan. Your answer should include similarities and differences. It is for 6 marks. can u answer it as in the coursebook, everything is messed up. edit: heres my ans test strategy is after the test while test plan is before. both test data test strategy is more detail than the test plan. the test strategy shows the actual outcome, while the test plan shows what is expected. the test plan shows redimial actions taken but the test stragety doesnt. both test the entire system.

@paphitisn 2 месяца назад

A test strategy is a fixed document which outlines how and when testing should be done. It identifies the approach, scope and objectives of the testing. The test plan is a dynamic document that can be updated or changed according to the results. It contains the type of test, the data that will be used for the test, what the expected outcome is be and what the actual outcome was. It will identify if the test passed or failed and if remedial actions are required.

This is not spec related. It is all relevant irrespective to the syllabus. Probably the most important tutorial you will receive with respect to answering the theory paper.

Can a singular statement be marked as two marking scheme points? like If i were to combine two marking scheme points into one statement while maintaining the keywords, would i get both marks, or only one?

if the the 2 points are valid and relevant then yes it will get both marks.

@paphitisn 8 месяцев назад

Making a video on this is on my to do list but i will push it forward, so hopefully it will be the next one i do. If you want to try though you can use the Merge Tools or Merge Toolkit Add-in. It will allow you to merge and add pdf and word documents. Either a single document to all or individualized documents. Merge tools: mergetoolsaddin.com/ Merge Toolkit: www.mapilab.com/outlook/mail_merge/ Personally i use merge toolkit but it is now on a yearly renewable plan. Merge tools gives you 20 free trials and is a pay once license (for now).

@paphitisn 2 месяца назад

@@mk-hc3pj there are no random questions. the questions are focused on what is included in the syllabus. You need to read the question and the given scenario carefully. Keep reading until you have a clear understanding of what the scenario is and what you should be answering. Then apply your knowledge to fit the scenario. Sometimes you get a question which is focused on your experiences. Take the time to think. do not answer immediately without questioning yourself. The answer based on your experiences and not what you think they want you to answer.

@mohkh7610 3 месяца назад

I didn't watch the entire video but I just want a quick answer. Case 1) if I answered a question and I just said something correct that shows understanding but it's not in the mark scheme do I get the mark? And my definition for a point to be correct is that it's only necessary that it's logically correct and not necessarily having key words from the mark scheme or the point itself to even be on the mark scheme. Case 2) what if according to my definition of a correct point the point is in the mark scheme but has no keywords

@paphitisn 3 месяца назад

A very valid question. If you justify your answer or if it is relevant then yes you will get the marks.However, sometimes students think they are answering with valid answers but instead they are not answering based on what the scenario is or what has been asked. So, make sure you answer based on what has been asked, if your answer is valid and justified then yes you will get the mark. Examiners are trained to mark positively.
