[Year 12 IT Apps] 2014 VCAA Exam Q10c

[Robert Hind]

As far as I can see the first two sentences of the Examiners' Report do not
in any way refer to Q10c. Only the last sentence is relevant.

Hi all,

 

Hoping to clarify something in the examiner’s report regarding 2014 exam,
Question 10c

 

I’ve pasted the relevant parts of the question in below.

 



 



 

I’m marking a practice exam from one of my students, and his answer for 10c
is essentially, 

-          Format the time field to 24 hour (e.g. 15:30)

-          This would ensure that all data is consistent in appearance,
therefore, making it easier to read and interpret. 

 

I think that’s a great answer, and worth 2 marks. 

 

However, when referencing the model answer from the examiner’s report, I see

 



 

Nothing in the model answer appears to mention data formats at all. 

 



 

You can see in erratum that data formats should include fixed decimal
places, various date formats, 12 hour/24 hour time, true/false, yes/no. 

 

Can anyone shed some light here?

 

Thanks,

 

Peter Langham
