Module 5
ICT5 - Information : Policy Strategy and Systems
This is forth theory module of the A level syllabus. This
module is worth 15% of the A2 examination. It is examined by means of a
single examination that is 120 minutes long. In the past the exam has
contained short answer questions, an analysis of the frequency with
which the 10 sections of the syllabus are questioned will be provided
closer to the examination.
ICT5 like ICT2 focuses on information. The examination
questions can appear to be very similar. However module five deals with
this area at a different level to module 2 The easiest way to think
about this is to say that module five has the view of the whole
organisation whereas module 2 has the view of a single user.
