[Year 12 IT Apps] IARTV exam thoughts

[Mark Scott]

I haven't seen the paper but the end of a task could be considered as a milestone.

Hi all.  Just a couple of last observations of the trial IARTV ITA exam if you plan to use it with your kids.

The PERT question (B6a) asks students to identify one milestone, yet the suggested answer identifies a task that has a five day duration! 
Indeed, none of the tasks has zero duration.

The last question asks students to draw a data flow diagram which is not mandated in the study design, and really belongs in the realm of SD rather than ITA.

Why do people mis-spell 'grammar' and mispronounce 'pronuniciation'?
