Thanks for that feedback. I know Mark wrote them but I wont go into whether or not “solutions were not provided for a variety of reasons” here except to say I don’t agree! You pay for a resource that advertises solutions and solution pathways and that’s what you expect to get. <BR>
By the sounds of it you and I are the only ones using these QATs.<BR>
In any case, I will be using the Ultrafix case study too. Also I must say that there seems to be a dearth of “complete” resources for this area of study. It is one of the more difficult areas. One must use the incumbent software, in my case, Access which is difficult, especially if the students have not used it before, and I would have expected that there would be more than there is to assist IT teachers. Especially at the year 12 level.<BR>

I also have used these QAT's...with some pleasing results.<BR>
Mark Kelly wrote them but solutions are not provided for a variety of reasons. The key, I found, was to look at the solution paths provided and then relate back to the questions..but do it thoroughly and carefully for the best results.<BR>
I usually use the ULTRAFIX task for my first OC, but the prototype site is done via the QAT or one I create on site. The QAT's were my Unit 4 tasks last year with clearly pleasing results for both outcomes.<BR>
