[Year 12 SofDev] SD exam hints

[Poultney, Gordon A]

You wouldn't have picked such an off-beat algorithm question in 2007 from the study design!
 
(Section C q3) 90% of students received 0, so not many of us gave two dimensional arrays much coverage - i gave it 5 minutes last year. Still waiting for queues and stacks and to pop up - excuse the pun.
 
And q4 of this exam allowed 1 dimensional arrays AND 2 dimensional arrays to be options as data types. Surely these are data structures??

We also have the study design as a guide .
Trying to pick an exam from such a volume of material isn't easy for anyone. 
I really have liked the Potts book and past exams.
Can't say I have found every question straightforward from these but most of it has been ok.

Dear Andrew and colleagues

 

Can I just add one more piece of advice? It is most important that the resources that are being used in revision are complete - namely that collectively they address all relevant elements of the study design. It is the study design that drives the exam, not textbooks and other resources.

 

Regards

Paula

I was only concerned with upcoming SD exam and by no means wanted to cause an argument.

I think the answer is to just revise the book,exams,Potts checkpoint
