[Year 12 SofDev] Practice Exams

Wed Aug 15 21:32:41 EST 2012

I don't think that "nit picking" is the right word to describe the robust
discussion that goes on over some questions. The intention is not to
nit-pick, but to learn.  ITA/SD questions by their nature have many
different solutions and demand an analysis. It is what this subject is all
about. I also teach maths, where most of the time there is only one correct
answer.

I have benefited immensely from the analysis of many colleagues on this
list. And my thanks to those people who do write exams. You are appreciated.

I quite agree. The endless nit picking is getting tiresome. Well done to
those brave souls who put themselves 'out there' to write them for us all.

You'all know that writing practice exams is not easy.

That is why most of us are keen to buy them in.

So those people who write them are doing us all a great favour.

As always they appreciate feedback - especially constructive, supportive
feedback. Any one who wrote directly to VITTA has had their comments
forwarded to the team. (see my tag line)

Having, in the past (NOT in 2012), written practice exams and real exams, I
deeply appreciate the effort that goes into creating these things and
reviewing them and proof reading them and checking them. Especially given
how much effort it takes.

VITTA has produced more than one exam - incredible effort. I have not even
been able to make one exam that I would use!!

Maybe you should support the people that make this sort of effort.

I love my own advice. Sometimes I even follow it.

There was a mistake with some of the VITTA papers. They are being resent.

Thanks, Maggie. That's good. It's just when you said "VITTA will have 2 x
sample exams..." it sounded like they weren't yet available.

The last I heard from VITTA was that they were in and sent out two weeks

Hi All,

We are teaching SD for the first time at CCG. Just wondering who out there
makes practice Exams and where would I get them from?

Thanks
