Im doin it myself too. only did 48 pages for the folio, and got 75 in the mocks on the written. Did anyone else make a music stage?

I do it. I wasnt a big fan of this years brief. Hopefully mine will be a little better (seeing as I am going into 6th year). There is alot of electronics theroy. Or at least thats whats my teacher makes it out to be.

A bit worried, all her work she shows is utterly perfect but the spreadsheats i produce and stuff like that flails in comparison to hers but she is a teacher i guess...

Its all about find your own style anywhos

I'm the very same! I didn't like it at all! Last years brief was much better I thought anyhow.

I'm just wondering would it not be better if there was 2-3 different briefs, and the candidate could decide on which they wanted to, similar to the Junior Cert?

It would be better but god forbid the state take some of the stress of those undertaking the LC

Yeah, it is easy if you study it. If you know your computers and learn off all the different terms you should be fine.

I'm sure they will be a question in Computers buses so have a look at them. another could be safety online.....

well since your asking, I'm sure you haven't really revised it much but it is probably one of the easiest options.

I strongly recommend project management and quality management to be learnt.

What would be in quality management other than the attributes?

If you did ECDL last year or in Transition Year, you should be fine for ICT.

Quality and product life cycle.
Quality and cost
Concept of reliability and its impact on product quality and performance.

Also something to note from the Chief Examiners Report I think would be:

Candidates did not score as highly in questions which required calculations, application and use of formulae and, particularly, in questions which were related to calculations on mechanisms.
