[Year 12 IT Apps] Examination reports

[Mark Kelly]

Examiners' report, ITA Q12b:

Quote

Few students could correctly write the formula for the IF statement 
=IF(C2>40, ‘YES’,’ ‘).

End Quote

And fewer examiners could either, apparently:  double quotes rather than 
single quotes are needed (at least in Excel, which is the undeclared 
standard for all spreadsheet questions in the exam).

It does bug me when a commentary on what is correct and what is not gets 
it wrong.

Why do people mis-spell 'grammar' and mispronounce 'pronuniciation'?
