yeah thats true.. the stuff in exams we never touched in class... but yeah to those ppl who do ipt, they got a slight advantage :)

we did last years exam paper in class. it was all pretty straight forward though there were some tricky questions that maybe a comp jUNkee would noe lol. the thing i found hard was just the ports i haven't seen some of them. =0P
But other then that it was pretty easy. [but i did comp studies in year 9 n 10] n that helped with some questions like the serial and parallel transmission.
loved multiple choice but heehehhe

yeah, I learned way more complex things in year 10 computer studies than in IT. I think its so boring because its based on the cert2 tafe course that only goes for like a few months, but we have to drag it out over 2 years

i reckont they should of let us go for cert3 as well. its in our books. Like we can be marked off as competent for it so why the hell n0t. if it only goes for a few months as Jizz pointed out we should of just started s0me of the cert 3 stuff even if we dont finish wat do we have to lose? notin. we just get more exp.

OMG! It's not just our class!

HAHAHAHAHA!~

We have the worst teacher for our class, he doesnt do shit, he sits in the tiny office out back all lesson pretending he's on the phone... and we just sit in the room, aimlessly doing.... NOTHING!

He hasnt taught us anything, and the only paper work we did apart from the exam, was a fucking 'comminication in the workplace' poster, and some shitty OH & S bible!

There are only 6 people in out class, cuz the other 5 dropped as soon as they got into the frist lesson in Year 11!

Do you also notice that in the exams... all the examples given when an employee has done something wrong, and needs help... it's a woman? In my trial, there was hardly any questions that related to anything he had told us about at all!~

go figure, wat a fucking joke. :chainsaw: :chainsaw:

lolz.....sounds like all our teachers are one..all the same!

but IT is easy..I had my trials for it y'day and it was a breeze, u can get above 85% without trying and studying!! even if i do wanna study, i wouldnt know wat 2! lolz.. its all jus common sense!

i jus hope the HSC is goooood....i wanna band 5!! 6 seems pretty impossible, only like 2 ppl got that last year!

heheeh well they actually can't test us on a lot of things.
ehhehe s0 guess thats a g0od thing f0r those wh0 aren't teCh heads :D .

I'm not sure if this is true but i hear that they can't test u on certain applications so like how d0 u mail merge in microsoft word or something, since not everyone could be using MS OS.
Could it be possible for them just to rephrase it anyway? like select a program and write the procedures to mail merge.?


ahh well i know theres alot of scenari0 questions, but they suck u answer with all technical words u get the same mark people get if they use just everyday words. Thought they would have criteria like uses appropriate language. :mad:

but yah all in all, IT is one hell of a bludge. Damn i wish i went to tafe so i could get a cert 5 like JizZ said.

I fly through all the booklets and assignments and spend the rest of my time surfing the net and playing Shockwave games in class :p As long as you get all the competancies and do okay in the exam, it's all sweet :D

ah. i rekon my 'coolest' teachers teach SDD and IT..
both being helpful/accepting/inviting/layed back.. and not placing themselves in superior positions.

but i mean.. with my IT class.. i do go thru the books really quick.. spend alot of time doing other stuff.. bludging and so forth..
but i dont think its a bad class..
also.. in spare time we do other stuff to help with the intranet..
its all ver casual. and i like that in a classroom.
