What the hell was that exam?

It was so damn easy, OMG. Like, I thought I was in a multiple choice cause it had a loot of multiple choice. Also there were very few of those big essay questions. I was really surprised with the exam. There was one didfficult one which said: Give four features that allow you to switch between imput forms. It was kinda tough but I think I got around it.

okek well first anchor is the same as bookmark..but u can rite scroll down..the "next " button...the "back" button.."the cancel" button..u know other stuff..so i think u got one mark there.
advatages of chip is: it has more larger capacity..it doesnt get damaged by magnetic fields, ....and the other thing  u wrote....i wrote 3 only and left one blank.....i have a question myself..for the last question about emails and faxes...is it ok to write in points?????

i always rite in points...and i think da 4th point could be tht chips and pins r more secure as they require a PIN no for identification...but magnetic stripes r directly used

For the chip thing i wrote
1)more secure
2)larger capacity
3)more robust
4)less chances of it being misused by fraudsters as pin is required.It is double checked(but i think this point is similar to saying its more secure....so i don't think ill get a mark for this.

I also wrote that same thing about chip and pin being more secure. I also wrote that if someone steals ur chip and pin, they cant get access becuz they dont know ur PIN.

I think thats wrong, U shud say, Magnetic Stipes gets Easily Scratched, Magnetic Stries can be destroyed if magnetic fields are Approched and Chips are much more secure as they have to compare pins and more safe as user has to sign.

they talked about THE WHOLE SYSTEM not just cards they say y its good to use chip and pin SYSTEM rather than using magnetic stripe SYSTEM

All those points are valuable still. If u write that magentic stipe readers get adamaged more easily thats correct.

hey guys for the navigation i think its the same s WIMP because you are gonna use a graphical user interface for the navigation
so i wrote

Windows
Icons
Menus
Pointer

Then for the chip one.....
1.chip can store more data
2.more secure against hackers and frauds because data is encrypted
3.magnetic stripes are damaged more easily
4.chip readers are more compact small and inexpensive(m not suer abt this wat do u guys think)

Wow the exam had some tricks
like navigating between input forms (i put back, next, home, scroll down lol)
and there was the one about chip and pin
but the rest of the questions were easy, the exam didn't take long to finish cuz the whole thing was tick 3 things and 2 things which confused me a bit
but yea i'd get an A
with paper 1 and 2 that would make an A* cuz practical was easy
