[Year 12 SofDev] SD exam hints

[Christophersen, Paula P]

Dear colleagues

I would like to confirm and support Mark's comments. As stated in the
study design (page 35 for ITA and page 46 for SD), all outcomes and the
listed key knowledge and key skills are examinable. 


Regards
Paula

There can indeed be questions about networking on the ITA exam, but they

won't be able to extend to topologies and protocols 'cos they're not 
mentioned in the study design.  But you _can_ be asked about types of 
networks, cabling, wireless etc.

Anything in the study design's key knowledge or glossary can be 
questioned - and some of those points are rather vague (e.g. "types of 
networks" includes LAN/WAN as well as P2P/Client-Server etc)

Better safe than sorry - know it all.
