[Year 12 IT Apps] Are sample examination questions gospel?

[Mark KELLY]

Hello, campers*

This is an open letter to our helpful Paula.

Are the content and styles of the VCAA sample examination questions part of
the VCE IT canon?**

More specifically, is the *style of the ERD* in the sample questions what we
should safely expect in a possible examination question - with its lack of
cardinality, and its multiple branches from a relationship?

Knowing this will help us constrain the teaching of the key knowledge.

With respect
Mark K

  *An obscure reference to Butlin's holiday
camps<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butlins>in postwar England (which
neither I nor you have attended) gleaned from old
episodes of an obscure TV show called
'Hi-de-Hi!'<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hi-de-Hi%21>which most of you
have never seen.  In retrospect, I don't know why I said
it.  Sorry, campers.

* *VCAA Bulletins*, including their *FAQ* and *Errata*
