13.6.1 Practice questions |
AQA past papers
Past papers. Not as useful as the Psionica database AQA shamefully closed
but...
Practice questions
Past paper practice questions for 13.6 (.rtf file - opens in Word/Writer)
suitable for revision/homework etc. etc.
NOTE: It's the same file on all the 13.6.X pages!!! This is a VERY big
document 'cos 13.6 often appears as part of the essay question.
Past paper answers
Answers to the questions above. Password protected .doc file. Sorry but
the password is only available to teachers. 23 pages long!!!!!
Older Exam Papers
Past papers (pre 2000) not included on the official AQA site from
Colchester VI Form College. These still contain some relevant questions
for this topic. Look for IT04/ICT4 papers. I think this is dead?
