It was a tricky paper!

Lots of people made similar mistakes

But fantastic effort from the vast majority!!

Focus on the areas where you, as a group, performed weakest

Make sure we include more exam question practice

Build up your exam technique

A network in a small geographical area

Such as a school or office

(which uses only internally owned hardware)

Look at the number of marks - 4 marks for 2 advantages means two explanations too - why is your point an advantage?

Always be very clear what you are comparing - single phrases like 'cheaper', 'easier', 'more reliable' are not going to get marks without explanation

Read the question carefully - if you are talking about something which hasn't been mentioned (such as WANs), could you have misunderstood?

So I am just going to give you some quick questions!

A character set defines how text is stored in a computer- which binary code equals which letter.
