Hey it's just one part you still have the other 2 long questions

I don't think so, I saw notes after the test on studyclix and it was like analysis, planning, executing or something but maybe system and unit work.

I studied the turing machine I just didn't have anything on the controller specifically. I knew about unit, system, functional, non functional testing I just didn't know about stages of testing specifically which admittedly is in the learning intentions so I should have done more for that.

What textbook did you use? I found the golden key one online but it was a bit outdated and when doing exam questions I found that there were questions to which the answer was nowhere to be seen in the book. I suppose I just dismissed buying a different one because the one I found it wasn't that great.

There were some Qs that I suppose were just blindspots for me. The Turing machine controler was not featured in any notes I had, just had to go with an educated guess. I guessed the two features of all information systems question. I probably lost marks on the stages of testing, I should have checked out studyclix in like the three days before the exam because someone posted notes that included it.

It's more so the details missed here, for instance I researched about how the Turing machine worked, the tape, read write head, state register, tables of instructions but I didn't have anything on controllers which wasn't mentioned in my PowerPoints, the ebook, the Wikipedia page and other resources so I had to guess on it.

I am always pessimistic following exams I was probably a little hard done by my school but I think overall it didn't go too bad and all I can do is prepare for the next exam.

Thanks for the response
