Hi all. I think section A was too easy, overall. Except for the dodgy (doggy?) questions...<div><br></div><div>Q6 - it has to be A, in spite of the silly "lots of data" wording.<div>It can't be B only tests the QSG, not the solution, as the question dictates.</div>
<div>It can't be C because eval criteria are determined during design. If it's C, it contradicts the study design and the question is invalid.</div><div>It can't be D because that's obviously evaluation.</div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>But Q19 is nagging at me more than Q6 did.</div><div><br></div><div><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;font-size:12.222222328186035px">If I had to guess, I'd go for D, based on my patented "What Were The Examiners Hoping I Would Say?" strategy. But I don't like any of the options.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;font-size:12.222222328186035px">Let me explain how I read the question:</p><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;font-size:12.222222328186035px">
A "complete disaster recovery strategy" is the series of steps taken <b>after</b> a disaster to recover from the disaster. <br>It is <b>not</b> talking about preparing for disaster. <br>It is <b>not</b> talking about preparing the strategy itself.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;font-size:12.222222328186035px">It won't be <A>. A backup plan should be prepared before the disaster, not after. <br><B> is the only option that refers to recovering data, but practising the procedures is done before, not after the disaster.<br>
Prevention measures are not relevant to disaster recovery, so it's not <C>. <br><D> is also about practising. Risk assessment is useful to PREPARE a recovery strategy, but is not done as part of a strategy for recovering from disaster.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;font-size:12.222222328186035px">I don't like any of the options.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">A big thanks to Andrew Pate from my two (out of five) students who showed up to class this morning where we concentrated on “the big question”. I thought VCAA might have made it a little more structured after
last year’s low response. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">At least in this examiners report we will have a definite VCAA version of the normal forms. Hopefully it won’t have any surprises.
