My deal with my Dad.

[H-Sauce]

He said that if I get a distinction (A/A*) in my GCSE ICT coursework due for next half term (we have it finished, but after half term we get a sheet showing us how to get a distinction from that piece of coursework and have until the next half term before it gets sent of to the board of examiners) that I will get a 16GB iPhone 3G! So... I'm going to start actually bothering in ICT. We're only doing the core stuff, you know, Microsoft Office. The only thing that I havent come across in two terms is Databases. And we have to print screen EVERYTHING! So fustrating.

So in a few weeks, I'll have that baby!

And we have to print screen EVERYTHING!

Ive just finished my first unit (Out of 6 for the 2 KS4 years), Im almost about to finish the second one

Im doing Pass, Merit and Distinction, so im expecting 4 A to A* GCSEs for ICT alone, then Art, im expecting probaly a A or A*, then for electronics, maybe a B, A if im lucky. You can get GCSEs for the core subjects right?

Oh yeah, the print screening, i have to do so much of it, SO MUCH PRINT SCREENING, I got so bored. In my whole unit 1 file (With all the annotations and screenshots) it ended up being 50mb, 56 pages and 5000 words...

And I have to do it another 5 times lol, thing is the tasks are so easy, its boring, like, rename a file... Delete 2 files, make a shortcut...

[robin1989]

yeh by then end of mine i had a file size of like 80mb

[gamerdude767]

im doing gcse music a year early and we have to create all audio for a trailer of our choice.
 im doing die hard 4.. my teacher said all i need to add is like 2 seconds of silence (to build up suspence) and ive got myself a Distinction.

 once ive finished it all ill post it here so you can tell me what you think

Was it boring?

Mine is hella boring... Usually ICT is more fun

Awesome, i was gonna pick music, but then I picked art instead

[gamerdude767]

yes i picked music... for the soul reason.. i play drum - you have to perform (on a instrument) infront of you yeah, either in a group/band... then you have to solo. so im like hell yeah that will be easy.(im in band aswell)

[alentris]

@ - same here man. Used to be a total nerd till two years back , i used to get A grade equivalents everywhere, but now i don't see the point. They are not gonna get me to college, so it. I have to give these dumb competitives for college and they are so tough

Oh yeah and congrats for the iPhone dude, i'm sure you'll get it. I barely even speak to my dad.....   

[simcityltd]

Awesome Deal . . Are You Doing OCR NATIONAL ICT?

[PhenomenalDesigns]

:k you guys get rewarded for A's? lucky... my parents get mad if i don't get A's...

My parents say they dont really care how I set my life, If i want a good life, i have to get good grades, but its up to me...

Awesome Deal . . Are You Doing OCR NATIONAL ICT?

i dont need high grades, i just need to know the inside and outside of a car and truck.
im better with my hands than with my brain...

[~:Dhruv:~]

well here in India, school grades don't matter at all for science students. We just need to clear the competitive exams after school. Now these exams are extremely tough. Imagine 1400k students running after   70k seats in colleges.

[ProperBritish]

omg thats not fair

i work my arse off for the money to get an iPhone 3G 16GB (PAYG)

and you get one for A* in GCSE ICT?

50%+ of my GCSE ICT was playing Quake 2 LAN Games, pissing around with the projector using IRShell and trying to backdoor the school security and i still got A*. It's not hard.

You are so lucky. Seriously.

ICT these days isn't really learning about how to use computers anymore. I know A-Level ICT is just BSWAC (Business Studies With Added Computers)
