Hello, good evening, welcome...to nothing much!*


Whoooohoooooooooooo!!! Brand new year and brand new pages! I've finally found some time (hiding behind the settee) and created some pages for ICT4 - known as "the missing link" in FatMaxology circles. There are a few gaps and typos in the new pages because they were thrown together in a *bit* of a hurry but there's enough stuff in there to get you started

Official AQA stuff

Official AQA 5521/6521 page
The official AQA page contains the latest course information and downloads related to the specification.


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

Examiners' Reports
It's very useful when preparing your revision and practising exam technique to know exactly what the examiner was/is looking for. If you read nothing else read these!
