	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/publications/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
