Certainly but if we look for the most correct response then the answer is option A

Yes mark, that was my first thought too.
But isn't all correct and accurate data manipulation based (is evident) on valid data?

Validation deals with data entry.

Options B, C and D are all testing to ensure data manipulation is correct/accurate etc.

Only option A clearly deals with data entry (i.e. the most correct option)

Dear wiser colleagues
Can someone help me with MC question 8?

An effective validation technique is evident when ... all answers seem to support the presence of an effective validation technique.

A - at first glance the answer but is reasonableness the best evidence of validation?
B- an accurate report suggests accurate input data, doesn't it?
C- least likely but again "reasonably"? What does that mean? If data can be sorted is it valid?
D -calculated files gives correct answers! Is this evidence of GIGO - not garbage in, garbage out, but good in, good out?

I'm confused!

I cannot believe that number question. No one would normally type numbers in as numerals, set the data type to text and then order from A -> Z.

I doubt anyone would get the answer to that unless they have accidentally done it in the past.

Because you have entered them as text, the sort will only look at the left most number to order them (just like with normal ones).

Answer according to Access is B....

Question 5 in the Multiple Choice? What's the consensus on that one?

I don't have the paper in front of me, but after a quick chat to my students, plain to see that they had differing opinions on the sorting of numbers as text question in the multiple choice.

I'm not marking this year by the way.

I'm reading the paper now.

Section A looks pretty free of rabies.

I have put the gun down after reading the normalisation question...  Thank Dog sanity prevailed on that one!

Damn that ERD question - three marks and they had to draw an entire diagram from scratch!  Grrr.

The 8 mark question appeared, as we expected.  And it was approachable.

Overall, I think I might give the dog a bone.
