The very first question for example asks "What is the computer item pictured"
*pictured is blatantly a keyboard*
A. Monitor
B. Keyboard
C. Mouse
D. Scanner
I mean, GUH!?
There was possibly one question in the entire test that challenged me remotely. It was one of the later ones, and asked something like, "What is to the right of V on the keyboard". And even that whilst I first thought it was "G", I changed my mind to "B" and got it correct. So, yes, anyway, it was much too easy. Rant over.
Mainly because I couldn't be bothered with the coursework, at all. I got a U on the first one, and a F on the second. I then managed to blag myself 2 B's on the exam, but because of my coursework grades, it pulled it down to an E.
GCSE IT was monotonous, and time-wasting. I spent most of my time playing that helicopter game and just messing around with mates.
The exams were homo aswell, I wrote at the top of one page "Poor english presents a difficulty for the candidate to answer the question you know" because one of the questions was so difficult to understand it begged belief.
Moral of story? Don't choose GCSE IT, it sucks. Do Computing when you get to college - that rocks!
(Predicted grade in Computing - B)
Huzzah!

I'm the youngest of 3. In chronological order we are:-
1) Clever, hard working, lower than average common sense, unlucky
2) Thick, lazy, lots of common sense, lucky
3) Clever, lazy, average common sense, average luck
Computing is going to kill me.

That sounds like me and my eldest brother - I used to be clever and lazy, he is clever and works his socks off.

What sort of relevance does that question even have? There is absolutely no reason why you should have to learn that, its like being asked which element comes before chromium in the periodic table.
Vanadium.

Yeah I am good at Maths too, like IT. I am either great at a subject or awful, which in the long run must be good because I will have certain fields I specialize in. A lot is expected of me unfortunately, as I am supposed to be more clever than my older brother, who completed his A-levels whilst battling cancer, and still came out with A A B B.

Noooo, not at all. ;P

Heh. Cool. I sucked at maths at school, and only studied up to GCSE. After getting into games programming, I'm using far, far more maths than I ever used during my education. Its *shock* quite good fun too.
That was officially the easiest exam I ever took.
