Examiners should stay away from HTML, or get someone who knows it.

Question 7 is disgusting. In fact, take a few moments to read through the question paper and point out a lot of the errors. But it’s the badly form HTML that bothers me most. Why does the exam board want to teach us incorrect information?

I expect that that web page in newer browsers would just break, or it’d be outraged and refuse to show the page. The other HTML questions are awful too. I only got a few marks in one question because I used <p style=”text-align:center;”>, rather than <center>. The thing is, depending on how well the person marking my exam knew HTML, I would have gotten full marks for that bit.

Okay, I guess I was intentionally using CSS because I knew they were looking for <center>, but still, my point’s still valid. AQA shouldn’t be teaching us invalid code.

Thanks for all the help, AQA

I just started looking over the stuff for business unit 11. The way I revise is by answering past exam questions. I head to the AQA website to find some, and there’s none there!? There’s an examiner report about the exam, but no actual exam. Not helpful at all.

I guess I can work from the specification, but they never actually tell you what you need to learn; that’s why I like using the exam papers because you can actually see what they’re going to ask and how it’s going to be asked. Take law for instance, the questions don’t mention defences at all but you’re still expected to put them in. You wouldn’t know you’re supposed to unless you’ve seen past mark schemes and exam papers.

The examiner’s report is actually quite helpful though.

I’m just going to go ahead and learn all of my text book.
