A-Level ICT - do the practical exams use Microsoft 2003 or 2007?

[RiaKova]

Can anyone tell me what year are the programs they use on the exams? I've been practicing all this time on Microsoft Access and Excel 2007, and the textbook I'm learning refers to 2003 so it takes a while to find required buttons and functions in the more later version. So confusing!

Please don't tell me they're using the latest ones, I have no experience with those whatsoever

Also, the only past practical papers I've been doing are the PAPER 2's. I'm doing AS, so I figured paper 2 is my level, and paper 4 is A2. Please tell me I'm right and that I'm not expected to be able to handle paper 4's too!

Hi, i am not really sure too because i practiced it all with 2010!
It would be really great if someone clearifies this for us.

And yes for AS level its just paper 2 and paper 1 so no worry you were on the right track. Goodluck though

No worries!
It all depends on your school computers', whether they have 2007 or later versions..
