<div><br>
</div>
<div>Just looking at your pseudocode for Section B, question 3 you don't increment idx each time through the loop, so it would currently only check the first record of each array and keep looping through that infinitely (Unless there is only 1 student).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I would chuck an idx <- idx + 1 between the "end if" and "end while".</div>

<div>Agree that question 13 could be maintainability, but it’s a horrendous question. The information given for question 12 & 13 explicitly says “Management has employed a consultant to assess the effectiveness…” - so either effectiveness is the answer (and
we’re just testing whether or not the students can read the information), or we’re saying that effectiveness isn’t specific enough and maintainability is the “quality of the software solution”.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Not a high point in the SD Exam’s history! </div>
