[Year 12 IT Apps] 2012 VCAA Exam Chat

[Jackson Bates]

Thanks, Heath.

My only discrepancy was Q6 - I suggested A, which while worded to make it seem haphazard, implies testing. I figured the other three would all be part of evaluation.

Section B Question 9 was a bit of a worry...Did they want the kids to draw a 2NF set of tables and then a 3NF set of tables? I just jumped straight to 3NF and described what it would look like at each step. (Didn't use the second page at all...)

Also, Section B Q6...did everyone interpret that as "Facebook. Discuss."?

General impression...apart from interpreting what the examiners actually wanted, it seemed like an easy paper.

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.

At least in this examiners report we will have a definite VCAA version of the normal forms. Hopefully it won't have any surprises.
