AQA AS ICT2 - Information: Management & Manipulation

Stuff for ICT2 - Links and resources organised by topic. This is just a whole load of stuff I find useful for teaching AQA 5521 ICT2 that you *might* find useful - the usual couldn't care less disclaimer applies!!! None of the links/resources are endorsed by AQA in any way, shape or form (see disclaimer below) and anything you find on this and related linked ICT2 pages is just stuff FatMax is quite fond of (a bit like frisbees really but not as useful or as much fun). If in any doubt about the quality/accuracy of the resources here always refer back to the Official AQA website and the current 5521 specification.

Past papers and mark schemes. Not as useful as the Psionica database they shamefully closed but... the next best thing.

Help FatMax keep these pages relevant by submitting new links and/or reporting dead links here. In case you haven't bothered to read the bit at the top of the page yet FatMax can never hope to be an official AQA site - booohoo! The only <cough> *reliable* </cough> source of official AQA info and documents is allegedly www.aqa.org.uk This page last updated 25/10/06 by a dog who really should know better by now. Thanx to Adam Kirkton for the doggy pics - buy something from his site or an overweight dog will probably come around and eat you.
