The two exams were easy enough but I - and just about everyone I think - found the unit work a complete pain in the ar*e. Didn''t help with the shambolic standard of teaching in our ICT department but it just seemed really hard to get beyond low 40''s out of 60 on any of them. A lot of our units got moderated down too looking at the results.[/quote]Mate I did ICT at A-Level, and finished on an E last year. The tests were shambolic as they were the easiest tests you could ever imagine, yet the style of marking was ridiculous. We would go through past papers in class and easily get Bs or Cs, yet obviously the markers saw differently. The coursework was also a joke, we were dropped 2 grades from what our teacher told us to our final c/work grade once it was marked again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted August 21, 2009 To be honest, it''s a terrible course. If anyone here is choosing A Level subjects, is thinking about picking ICT and knows their centre does Edexcel - I would recommend you don''t. It''s all orientated towards meeting vague criteria rather than actually teaching anything new. I could count the amount of new things I learnt from it in two years on one hand.
