I feel insulted, our GCSE IT exam was not only multiple choice, but also quite offensive to just about anyone's intelligence.

Try this sample questions that I can remember:

---------
A clerk for a business processes orders on the computer. The system goes down and everything is lost, what could he have done to prevent losing all the data?

A) Labelled the disks
B) Created an empty file
C) Made a backup of the data on another computer or external storage device
D) Written the detials of every order out by hand
--------
--------
What is the best way to reduce eyestrain for IT users?

A) Use a screensaver
B) Take regular breaks
C) Use document holders
D) Wear dark glasses
-------

-------
What is the main advantage of a computer database over a filing cabnet?

A) Speed
B) Rearrange data easily
C) A computer is smaller than a fileing cabnit
D) More space


Yes, the last question is esspeccialy stupid, they are all correct answers.

Stupid AQA, and you thought edexcel was bad.

Mine was on databases and that was pretty simple.

Yours should be.

I do both History and IT. Fortunately I haven't got my History Mock tomorrow...I've got loads to revise.

We're Edexcel, but I hope my IT one is that easy.

No joking. They are this big school with 'Technology College' status and only 30 people could go on the course.

But I wasn't allowed on because of my attendance and attitude in class. Hence the username.
