Title: Computer studies 0420- Preparation Tips & Resources???
Post by: ~Mimi~ on May 18, 2009, 05:28:26 pm: Salaam ppl,
How are u guys preparing for the Computer exam on the 27th May? This subject's sorta weird. Every time , specially in recent papers, they cm up with a few new things here and there. My frnds and I end up making up like almost all the stuff even though we did study for it. Hope our paper's easy Insha'Allah. Anyone know any gud websites for revision?The syllabus is a bit broad, specially computer applications section.don't u think? Looking forward to the replies...Thanx!

Post by: ~Mimi~ on May 18, 2009, 09:22:20 pm: Thanks for the notes...lol. My problem is that I sorta have tooo many notes like from 2 tutors, the school teacher, an old frnd whu tk IG last yr, the ones u just uploaded....Im sorta confused abt where to start. Did u look at the Cambridge syllabus thing? Its soooooooo complicated!!! By the way, my project was abput a Travel Agency....It was the most frustrating thing I'd ever done ..... change the title, change the spacing, open the doc again and its all back to square 1!!! Most likely I'll stick to what I've already learnt for the rest of the Comp examz throughout the year, and build up on it if time allows + do PPQ....
