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.

Technically these two are both BIG advantages, and you could argue quite easily in favour of either...
