There is one examination for GCSE Applied ICT.

Students are tested on the contents of Unit 1: ICT Tools and Applications and will have to apply their knowledge to answer questions on a case study. The case study is available on the CCEA website four weeks prior to the exam to allow students to carry out research. The exam is completed on a computer and lasts two and a half hours (excluding printing times).

Students are tested on their ability to:

  • use ICT applications;
  • present information using word processing, publication and presentation software;
  • organise and analyse numerical information using spreadsheet software;
  • organise and analyse structured information using database software;
  • organise and present information using multimedia software;
  • communicate, search and select information using the Internet;
  • investigate how ICT is used in organisations;
  • develop business documents; and
  • perform file management tasks and standard ways of working.

The exam is externally set and externally moderated by CCEA. It is targeted at students across the range A* - G.
