[Year 12 IT Apps] Practice Exams

[Andrew Shortell]

You'all know that writing practice exams is not easy.
That is why most of us are keen to buy them in.

So those people who write them are doing us all a great favour.

As always they appreciate feedback - especially constructive, supportive feedback. Any one who wrote directly to VITTA has had their comments forwarded to the team. (see my tag line)

Having, in the past (NOT in 2012), written practice exams and real exams, I deeply appreciate the effort that goes into creating these things and reviewing them and proof reading them and checking them. Especially given how much effort it takes.

VITTA has produced more than one exam - incredible effort. I have not even been able to make one exam that I would use!!

Maybe you should support the people that make this sort of effort.

I love my own advice. Sometimes I even follow it.
