If anybody's doing CG Level 2 ICT there's an error in one of the data files. CG are contacting centres and e-mailing the correct files to them. ________________________________ From: The FE Exams Network mailing list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Buckle, Vicky Sent: 03 February 2011 10:47 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Functional Skills ICT Don't hold your breath.

Also, do you receive question papers as we still haven't received any and the exams are next week. Many Thanks Sophie Flitcroft Exams Officer Direct Dial: 01539 814714 From: The FE Exams Network mailing list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Wood, Lorraine Sent: 02 February 2011 16:57 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Functional Skills ICT We have had fun preparing for these. The handbook is excellent though and it has proved invaluable. Our Ethernet cables are housed within desk bases which cannot be easily reached and I cannot rely on someone in IT to be around to disable internet 15mins into exam so we are using a second person who will collect all the named printouts to give to students to attach to their exam papers plus this ratio for 20 allows us to leave the internet connected but monitored by both invigilators. Whilst printing carries no marks, the board do require that it is carried out either in the room or nearby but remaining under controlled conditions so our second person will do this. I will download all data files in a public file which we will give them passwords to on the day that way they won't be accessible before or after. Our IT dept have configured Outlook on a global account for students to access email as part of their exam and we are looking forward to the experience!

We are running our first session of these next week and I'm concerned on a few issues - Do City and Guilds send question papers or is the work all in the data files - How have you monitored the 'No Internet Access' - Are part A and part B timed or does the individual candidate move on to B when they've finished part A In regards to sending the candidates the data files via email, I was thinking of setting up different users 'Exam 1', Exam 2' etc and emailing the files to them rather than emailing to the candidates own outlook where they have to be logged on as themselves with the potential of accessing other work. Have any other centres tried this and how did they find it worked. Any advice would be greatly appreciated - City and Guilds really do not make life easy!!!
