- ICT is a subject that is continually changing. It is therefore necessary for you to read around the subject and take notes of any examples that could be used when answering questions on the topics you are studying.
- BBC Click is an excellent weekly technology programme that you can watch at any time and that will provide insight into the ever changing world of ICT.
Consolidate class notes
- A-levels are different to anything you have experienced to date, in that we assume that after each lesson you go through your class notes and add to them by reading your workbook or research on-line or in the library or even reading magazines and newspapers.
- Looking through past exam papers and practicing answering the questions is the most effective way of passing A-level exams. The same questions come up each year albeit worded slightly differently. By learning how to answer these questions you are giving yourself free marks!
- Whilst studying each topic your ICT folder should be kept up-to-date with the following 4 sections:
- Class notes
- Consolidated class notes (class notes + additional reading)
- Past paper practices (with model answers)
- When you complete a topic, summarise your notes further into a single, high level diagram (in a style of your choice) which can then be put on top of your notes to give you something to revise from. Maybe consider turning lists into acronyms or create a mind map.
- This means you will need to purchase a note pad (preferably A4) and section dividers (about £2 from Staples)
