[Year 12 IT Apps] Sample exam questions and entity-relationship diagrams

[Christophersen, Paula P]

Dear colleagues

 

The examination specifications and some sample questions focusing on new
content in the study design are now on the VCAA website:

 

http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/vcaa/vce/studies/infotech/it-applications/pub
lications/IT-Apps-samp.pdf

 

 

Structurally the examination remains the same - two sections: Section A
multiple choice; Section B short and extended responses. 

 

I draw your attention to a couple of matters in the sample questions:

*          Question 4 focuses on an entity relationship diagram - this
hopefully clarifies recent concerns that have been raised.

*          Question 7 illustrates one way in which the examination can
deal with the choice of different software in Unit 4, Area of Study 1.
Here a common question is presented, and students select the software
tool to explain their answer.

*          Question 9 is an example of an extended response (worth 8
marks) with prompts to guide answers

*          Question 12 is an example of the scope of a question on RDBMS
- the focus can only extent to what is covered in Unit 3. Again it
illustrates an extended response with prompts

 

Regards

Paula
