What is needed for the examination?

The new specification is different from the previous specification as it does not require you to produce a formal project at AS level. It does, however, require you to develop your knowledge and understanding of the development of ICT systems through practical work using a range of application software in a structured way.
The range of applications should include the processing of text, images, numbers and sound.

However, you will need to hand in two pieces of work for the examination.
The first is an analysis for the solution to a practical problem,
• The second a test plan plus the subsequent testing of a system (it need not be related to the work on the
analysis).
This will be assessed in the examination; all work then has to be submitted at the end of the examination.
The work that you submit for the examination should be between 10 and 20 pages in length – any more pages and you could have difficulty finding the information in the examination.

All pages should be numbered sequentially, not split into sections.
You will need to refer to page numbers in the examination
