<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You have raised a good point though Marylou about
us all being vigilant in getting answers from VCAA. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When I spoke to Susan she was interested in any
other conflicts we might find between the supplementary info and any other
advice issued by them.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Another glaring example I have found is that
the 2004 sample exam says that the exam will not include 'writing
information to disk', whereas the supplementary info rates the workplace focus
as 'Medium' that we should teach I/O operations from files and writing to files
or databases. It is only listed as a medium but I could find many examples
of questions on the exams that have been rated as a medium.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If there are any other contradictions that anyone
finds, you can email me on <A
href="mailto:rmclean@haileybury.vic.edu.au">rmclean@haileybury.vic.edu.au</A>
and I'll take it up with VCAA or you can contact VCAA directly. VCAA are
hoping to release clarification on a few issues in term 2.</FONT></DIV>

opinions here rather than contact VCAA. I actually said that we should not
just express them here, we need to in addition clarify our concerns with VCAA.
The only way we are aware of our common concerns is through the mailing list.
What I was saying is then from that the next step is to contact
VCAA.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

VCAA on our behalf. Thankyou for clarifying this you have put my mind
at ease. When we are confused we need an official response from VCAA to
us all and it is good to know that someone is pursuing
this.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
