for Applied ICT(AS), Payroll and staff file had to be combined ... it was a easy thing ... u had to say about relationships ...
then there was another question to update master file .... the answer is to match each record with the transaction file and create a  new file ....

Pure maths was just so easy ... the last question was not that tough but tougher than the other ones ...
the answer would be 1.82 ... the vector questions angle is 95.1 degress which is definitely obtuse ... the vector OX would be (4,-4,2) and unit vector would be (4i - 4j + 2k)/6 ....

Computing qp 09 may june was a bit different than earlier years ...
Q.1 (a) Simple definitions of input device, output device, storage device (3 marks)
      (b) Types of printers (9 marks)

There was one good question about people's expectations that have changed due  to computer systems ... this was new but i gave a generalised answer

The algorithm was bit tricky but i was able to do that .... X=11 for 10 outputs should be the answer
the output was 1,1 and 2,4 and for condition - x is not 3, goto step 3 again and x is 3, go to step 7 to end.
The next part was to change the value of X initially to 5 and final loop condition was to set to X=30.

The case study was quite boring and irrelavant questions was there .... like they told the company is going to have a new website designed for customers .... the questions asked was two types of diagram for "New system" .... but it was easy ... the question of output was also easy ... everything else was easy ...

I am rily worried about physics paper 2, mechanics and chemistry practical which is the next set of exams ...
