[Informatics] Unit 4 Audit

[Darren Scott]

Point taken … though it was mentioned at the SD SAT training session that some of the commercial tasks don’t even match the study design. Heck, from what Phil was saying, some tasks didn’t even admit that there WAS a SAT.

Maybe instead of “accredited” … “informed” sources? “Respected”? I’m not touching words like halal or kosher … too much chance for something to go wrong.

I appreciate the kudos, Darren, but "accredited" is a not really the right word. The only accredited source is VCAA.

Other publications may be quietly checked in a back room by VCAA before publication, but they never get a 'stamp of approval'.

(But if VCAA ever slips into the study design a reference to Adam Sandler or a serial killer - I'll consider myself 'accredited'. Sadly, the only time VCAA got even slightly frisky was a thematic allusion to Charles Schultz's Peanuts characters in the 2008 SD exam's section C<http://vceit.com/p/postmortem-2008s.htm#c>.)

Neither the textbooks nor vceit.com<http://vceit.com> is kosher, or even halal.

Shameless plug:

I mentioned during the holidays that I'd put up some solutions<http://vceit.com/wp/informatics/informatics-vcaa-sample-exam-answers/> to the VCAA sample questions for the new Informatics exam, and encouraged people to ignore it at their earliest convenience. I am humbly grateful that everyone took my advice.

But now that you're back at work, awake, and sober, you might find it useful as a source of discussion with your kids as the end of year exam approaches.  There are only 121 shopping days until the exam!


Regards,
Mark
