Exam Examples, Exemplars and Questions
In 2021 the exam changed from being generic and open to being quite specific
The 2021 exam covered topics such as computer security, encryption and tractability.
Because of this we have no good examples of what the exam will look like for 2022.
However we have some idea, and will discuss them in this section.

2021 Exam Paper
Last year the exam paper was quite different. The focus had students research an New Zealand based organization and talk about it in regards to Encryption, Security or Tractability.
It is important to look at the style of questions that were in the exam to get some sort of a hint as to what type of questions will be in the 2022 exam.

Mr Sutherland's Predictive Questions
Here are the questions that Mr Sutherland believes will be in the exam based on the 2021 exam questions.
Section A: Identification & Opportunities
(I) Name a specific New Zealand based organisation that uses Artificial Intelligence.
If you are using your school write "my school"
(II) Give two ways in which Artificial Intelligence is used with this organisation
(III) What do these uses of Artificial Intelligence enable this organisation to do that would otherwise be difficult or impossible?
Choose two of the following questions:
(I) In what ways can Artificial Intelligence help with customer care?
(II) How can Artificial Intelligence help reduce costs for a business?
(III) Why would Artificial Intelligence support quality control for a business?
Section B: Mechanisms
Choose two of the following questions:
(i) How is Artificial Intellegence currently applied to address an opportunity?
or
(i) How does machine learning work to help guide Artificial Intelligence?
(ii) What is a MNIST Database and how does this help guide Artificial Intelligence?
(iii) How does Artificial Intelligence get aided from the Turing Test?
(iv) What technology helps aid the use of Artificial Intelligence?
(v) Deep Learning
(vi) Neural Networks
Section C: Impacts
Select one of the following Impacts:
Section D: Key Problems or issues:
Should A.I. be programmed to break laws in order to keep people safer?
Could there be a danger of A.I. learning from current human behaviour?
Could a receptionist be fully controlled by A.I?

What do students often do right? and wrong?
Students that received a Not Achieved made the following mistakes:
Achieved
Merit:
https://www.nzqa.govt.nz/ncea/subjects/assessment-reports/digital-technologies-l2/
- gave similar answers to two or more questions, or gave answers that did not answer the question
- chose two similar mechanisms and gave similar answers to both
- did not understand what a mechanism is
- used examples (such as the Turing test, video game machine learning) and showed no relation or understanding of current Computer Science concepts
- did not answer all of parts (a Identification) to (c Mechanisms).
Achieved
- gave answers of sufficient depth to parts (a) to (c)
- used a variety of examples from current digital technologies
- chose two distinct mechanisms and demonstrated understanding.
Merit:
- chose an impact and clearly linked it to their chosen Computer Science concept
- clearly explained the chosen ethical issue or human factor and how it has been affected using a specific example (for example, how public / private encryption has allowed online banking to occur).
- gave their own opinion that demonstrated a deeper understanding
- brought together previous answers and showed links and connections
- introduced a related idea not covered in the task.
