[Yr11 Information Technology] VITTA Unit 1 exam announcement

[Bridie Mackay]

Further to Adrian's message below, on behalf of VITTA I would like to thank
Peter Nash (VITTA Committee member) and Adrian Janson (VITTA Vice-President)
for their efforts in preparing a Unit 1 exam in response to feedback on the
list. The Unit 1 exam is now ready for circulation and will be sent to those
who have already ordered the 2011 Year 11 Exam pack, or the 2011 Combined
Exams pack.

 

If you have any queries about the Exam packs, please contact the VITTA
office on office at vitta.org.au.

 

Best wishes

Subject: [Yr11 Information Technology] VITTA Unit 1 exam announcement

 

Hi everyone,

 

There has been some discussion about the format of the VITTA exams -
particularly the Unit 1 / 2 exam.  We have received many requests for a
separate Unit 1 exam.

 

To explain why we have traditionally not produced a Unit 1 exam - in the
past, the timeline to produce the exam pack (that is contact authors,
explain timelines, draw up contracts, receive drafts, correct drafts,
contract proof readers and follow through the proofing process) - has been a
long one.  It is started fairly early in the year and takes many months to
complete.  Usually this means that by the time the exams are ready, Unit 1
exams are already over and done with - making them redundant.  For this
reason, we have focussed on the creation of a combined Unit 1 / 2 paper that
can be used at the end of the year.

 

This year, our timeline for the Unit 1 / 2 exam ran early meaning that many
of you received it (or will receive it) in time to use for the Unit 1 exam
period.  However, as we have not produced a separate Unit 1 exam - this
doesn't suit.

 

However, we have received your requests and are in the process of producing
at least 1 Unit 1 exam and we will be able to send out to all those that
have purchased the exam pack shortly.  The materials for Unit 1 are being
proofed as I write this - and we are hoping to have them ready in the next
few days.  

 

All the best,

Adrian
