GCSE ICT
My GCSES – Part 4/8
I am in Year 10, which is the year you start studying for your GCSE exams (some start in Year 9), which, for anyone who doesn’t know, are compulsory exams all students have to take at the end of Year 11 (aged 15-16 depending on birthday). ICT was one of two subjects I could take instead of Separate Science. It is not compulsory (it is an option).
GCSE OCR Creative iMedia
In ICT you study:
· Unit 1 – Pre-production skills
Written exam paper – 25% of marks
· Unit 2 – Creating digital graphics
Coursework – 25% of marks
· Unit 3 – Storytelling with a comic strip
Coursework – 25% of marks
· Unit 4 – Creating a multipage website
Coursework – 25% of marks
ICT is split into written exams and coursework. There is one exam (which I am taking in January), which is on the unit we are currently studying in class. The other 75% of the marks comes from coursework, which we are yet to start.
