Title: Computing!!! 9691 .. help
Post by: cashem'up on August 10, 2010, 01:42:21 pm
Hey guys i have decided to take computing , and i have already given AS AICT but nothin in computing for A levels
HOWEVER
In 2010 computing 9691 syllabus says

Exclusions
This syllabus must not be offered in the same session with any of the following syllabuses:
9754 Computing (Singapore)
9713 Applied Information and Communication Technology

So does this mean i cant give A2 AICT and AS computing both this november however i can take A2 AICT this nov and AS and A2 computing next June(different sessions)
OR does it mean that i cannot take both subjects in my A levels please....help

HOWEVER
THE 2011 syllabus says no such thing

2010 http://www.cie.org.uk/docs/dynamic/24062.pdf
2011 http://www.cie.org.uk/docs/dynamic/31347.pdf

Yes, that is right. You cannot give any component of AICT and Computing together.

Send me a link to the syllabus please. I need to read a little bit more. But, from what you said there, yes, that would be the conclusion.

You can use this website if you want to ask CIE (http://ask.cie.org.uk/system/selfservice.controller?CONFIGURATION=1035&PARTITION_ID=1&TIMEZONE_OFFSET=&USERTYPE=1&CMD=ESCALATION_REQUEST) directly.

Yes, now that I look at the syllabus, you cannot give them in the same session, but you can give them separately in sessions. Cheers! :)
