I've just received the IARTV practice exam for ITA and am gently poking it to see what happens. Things of interest so far...<br><br><b>Section A</b><br><br>Q6 - a validation check for an order quantity is said to be a "location check". Has anyone heard of one of those before? The only other semi-credible option was an "integer check".<br><br>Q9 - evaluating the effectiveness of a system is said to be done "post implementation". While this is strictly true, implementation is not part of the PSM.<br><br>Q11 - copyright law "protects the ideas expressed on a website". But copyright does not protect ideas, it protects the way the ideas are expressed. A subtle difference in wording, perhaps, it could have significant effects on kids' reading of the question.<br><br>Q20. Decisions in orgs are strategic, tactical, operational, day-to-day. I've not heard of "day-to-day" being a standard decision type. Is it in a textbook?<br><br>More to come, maybe. <br><br>How are people's revision going? <br><br>I've just finished the U4O2 test and am back onto exam practice.<br><br>-- <br>Mark Kelly<br>Manager of ICT, Reporting, IT Learning Area<br>McKinnon Secondary College<br>McKinnon Rd McKinnon 3204, Victoria, Australia<br>Direct line / Voicemail: +613 8520 9085, Fax +613 9578 9253<br><a href="mailto:kel@mckinnonsc.vic.edu.au" target="_blank">kel@mckinnonsc.vic.edu.au</a><br>VCE IT Lecture Notes: <a href="http://vceit.com" target="_blank">http://vceit.com</a><br>Moderator: <a href="http://www.edulists.com.au/" target="_blank">IT Applications Edulist</a><br><br>Want a good time?
