| Welcome to the World of FatMax |
| Last update 31 August 2009 - FatMax |
It's been a looooooooooooong time coming but FatMax finally gets a makeover i.e. a new t-shirt!!! I *could* lie and say I've been researching stuff for the site but, as usual, I've mainly just been lounging around and eating biscuits!
| The one *BIG* change is that I've gone Welsh. Just in case you were hoping to find something else the old FatMax can be found here - I haven't got any plans to delete it anytime soon in case you're relying on it for anything. There wont be any updates to the old material though. |

| AS Modules |
|
| Section A is the "theory bit" of the exam. For Section B you use spreadsheet software, before the exam, to solve a realistic problem and then answer questions on your solution in the 2nd part of the written exam. |
|
| In this unit you use different software applications to solve
a problem involving three separate presentation tasks - a DTP leaflet, an automated document and a presentation/webpage. |
| |
| A2 Modules |
|
| Written paper in two sections, A and B. You answer all questions in Section A and one from two in Section B. Your quality of written communication (uh oh!) is assessed in two questions. |
|
| This unit requires you to produce a relational database project. The
project doesn't have to be based in an actual real context, but "candidates
should be encouraged to develop a realistic system" |
