Digital Technology 2650 試験対策
AS Digital Technology splits 200 marks evenly across two 90 minute papers. Clean DFD notation and scenario-linked QWC answers are what separate a C from a B here.
試験の概要
| 試験 | 時間 | 配点 | 問題数 | 配点比率 | 出題形式 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AS 1: Systems Development | 1時間 30分 | 100 | 6 | 50% | Short definition / component identification, Structured description & distinction, Diagrammatic modelling (Level 1 DFD), Extended comparative evaluation (QWC Banded) |
| AS 2: Fundamentals of Digital Technology | 1時間 30分 | 100 | 5 | 50% | Binary conversion & capacity calculation, Short recall / feature listing, Technical explanation & distinction, HTML coding snippet, Extended comparative evaluation (QWC Banded) |
AS 2: Fundamentals of Digital Technology bans calculating aids outright, so every binary, storage capacity and modulus 11 calculation in that paper has to be done by hand. AS 1 does not state a restriction, and under the general CCEA and JCQ rule a calculator with no stored or retrievable information is permitted there by default, though AS 1's content, systems development and data flow diagrams, rarely needs one. Whichever calculator you bring, it must carry no stored formulae, text or programs. Resetting a calculator's settings does not clear stored memory, so anything saved has to be cleared outright, not just reset.
- AO1: AO1: demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the concepts, characteristics, components and functions of digital technology (45%)
- AO2: AO2: apply knowledge and understanding of digital technology to investigate and analyse problems and propose solutions (30%)
- AO3: AO3: design, develop and evaluate digital technology solutions to solve problems, making reasoned judgements and presenting conclusions (25%)

よくあるミス
- 1high影響する配点: 6QWC extended evaluation
In 6 mark QWC evaluation questions, a hotel booking changeover, bitmap versus JPEG, and similar scenarios, candidates give a correct general definition of each side but never connect it back to the scenario in the question.
回避方法: State the general point in one sentence, then add a second sentence saying what it means for the specific scenario given. Do this for both sides of the argument, not just one. - 2medium影響する配点: 4Modulus 11 check digits
Modulus 11 check digit calculations are attempted without showing the weighting order or the remainder, so a single arithmetic slip loses every mark in the calculation rather than just the accuracy mark.
回避方法: Write each digit with its weight underneath, show the sum, then show the division by 11 and the remainder before stating the check digit. Method marks are available even if the final digit comes out wrong. - 3high影響する配点: 5Data flow diagrams
Level 1 data flow diagrams connect an external entity straight to a data store, or leave data flow arrows unlabelled.
回避方法: Route every flow through a process, never directly between two external entities or between an external entity and a store, and label every arrow with the data it carries. - 4medium影響する配点: 4Requirements analysis
Functional and non-functional requirements get mixed up, candidates list a security or performance requirement when the question asks what the system must do.
回避方法: Ask whether the point is a task the system carries out, which is functional, or a quality the system must have while it works, which is non-functional, before writing it down. - 5medium影響する配点: 3Backup strategies
Differential and incremental backup get described as the same thing.
回避方法: State it precisely. Differential backs up everything changed since the last full backup. Incremental backs up only what changed since the last backup of any type, full or incremental. - 6medium影響する配点: 2Two's complement representation
Two's complement boundary values are given as plus 128 for the maximum positive value in an 8 bit signed byte.
回避方法: The maximum positive 8 bit two's complement value is plus 127, binary 01111111, because one bit pattern is reserved for zero. Learn the boundary pair, minus 128 to plus 127, as a fact rather than deriving it under time pressure. - 7low影響する配点: 3Fetch execute cycle
Fetch execute cycle answers describe fetching an instruction in general terms instead of naming the registers in the correct order.
回避方法: Give the exact sequence. The address in the Program Counter copies to the MAR, the instruction at that address copies to the MDR, and the MDR content copies to the CIR. Naming registers out of order loses marks even when the general idea is right.
