[Year 12 IT Apps] 2012 VCAA Exam Chat

Tue Nov 13 14:41:36 EST 2012

MC 6 C  (eval criteria  -- as a developer you are going to make sure it
meets eval criteria before delivery so that it does not come back and you
get paid for it)
mc 12 D  (test actual boundaries to include what must be in)
mc 16 A   (B says can and cannot *-->it needs to say* should and should not
    so B is looking into the past and A is looking to the future)

am looking forward to examiner's report already  and the dogs breakfast
judgement from our pre-eminent list members
