[Year 12 IT Apps] IT Apps textbook

[Rob Minato]

Looks like the test, as is, is practically useless. I'll print it out and get them to do it in class as a short on the spot test. (How I prefer not to use paper).

Hardly worth getting them to do the tests (for a bit of revision) if the answers are literally in front of them. Any suggestions?
