[Year 12 IT Apps] The Big Question

[ATKINSON-BUCK, Damien]

Hi folks,
            With the big question, I've been going through some of the past exam papers and the examiners comments. Am I right to assume that if a student chooses the SpreadSheet option, they will need to provide the formula. Whereas if they choose the database option, they have to describe the query, not write SQL or draw a query design box (we used Access, not sure what Filemaker etc. display is like).
I'm thinking it's a safer bet to describe a query than to remember the exact formula for something in the pressure of an exam. Just wondering what others thought of this and how they are recommending students handle the big question.
Cheers
Damien
