Yeah you probably do know me :) I have a strange feeling I think I know you as well :P

If you top the state, you definitely don't get 100. It doesn't work like that. And you definitely aren't guaranteed to jump to a near-100 UAI either. Both systems just don't work like that. You get the mark you deserve. Scaling is affected by your school cohort doing the course more-so than...

That is a very good question about the IT Traineeships, I know for a fact talking with a lot of computer repairers, technology consultants and managers of IT in medium-large scale business/enterprise that they have a lot more confidence in the education which VETiS offers in school (and also...

Well gee thats a good question Im not too sure how that works! Im pretty confident that the top raw mark in this years HSC will be above 95 (well should be anyway). But just say it did happen that the top mark was only 80 something, I dont think BOS would want to release that as the top result...

Is it possible Well yeah I was first in 04 and I was able to get a Band 6 for IT. Was it my true mark? No...cause your mark printed on your actual HSC can be higher or lower than your exam mark due to a few factors. One of the main ones is how every else in your class went opposed to you...

Oooooo someone has used OpenOffice.org Software!!!! Yeah I think if you answered with openoffice applications I doubt some of the examiners would know what the hell you are talking about! But so very cool! Corel!!!! Oh my! Who still uses Corel???

I wouldnt freak out...they are just the sorts of things you need to know...practical things :) This comes with doing lots of exercises in class on the computers, it will just get to the stage where these questions become 2nd nature to you in the exam :)

Yeah definately first of all dont panic! No need to do that :) Excel books are a good idea but PLEASE dont put your trust in the Excel guides. IT is not a subject like Physics or Chemistry or Maths where they can just change a few numbers and chemicals here and there and make a whole new...

Yes yes there is one! Especially for VETiS (VET in Schools) students. It is the WorldSkills Australia Regional, State and National Skills Competition! Their website is.... http://www.worldskills.org.au/ I was a part of the competition in 2003, where I was lucky enough to win the...

Yes this is true. But you need to ensure that the merged link still exists and you havent completed the merge into a document. Im not too sure as it has been a while since I have done any 'office admin' type of work but im sure once you have completed the merge completely and saved the output...

There will be basic hardware related questions in the IT paper that you will need to answer for sure. Some of these are covered in the Operate Computer Hardware elective. They arent going to ask you anything complecated they just need to know that you understand the basic components of a...

Operate Computer Hardware.....I cant remember if that was an elective or a compulsory unit. But i know it definately did it. Look I think it SHOULD be a compulsory unit though. There is nothing worse than seeing people later in life in IT related studies that dont know what to do when their...

Good work! The first one was correct! 3 Types of Biometric Data on the other hand, that is a very badly written question. Are they suggesting write the types of data files that can be stored through biometric scanning or the types of devices that can scan biometric data. I think they are...

They are not meant to be hard. They are designed so that people who are not familiar with computers can pass the course and get a decent mark as well. Thats why its a BDC Category B course. In saying that, it doesnt mean that just because you know a lot about computers you can slack off. You...

One word with the half yearlys...be prepaired!
