BMW Babe - Whats your next step - manually pull all these answers into your presentation? tut tut - now I would expect that at GCSE level, possibly, but A-level? And within two weeks of starting school as well.... You should have thought out your data collection a little more thoroughly.... a simple Zoomerang or "Survey Monkey" survey would be free to construct, would have allowed you to provide single and multiple choice answers and would have provided basic reporting capabilities as well....all at no charge. You could have also obtained some useful quantitative data as well as the qualitative remarks you have. So for data collection I am only going to give you 16%, which I think equates to a C thesedays.

In my ICT class we're making a flash presentation on the BMW GS Motorbike, and I was wondering if you could fill in this small questionnaire for me as soon as possble, as I need to do a small write-up about the target audience of my presentation.
Thanks in advance.

AVCE is the mickey mouse stage before you can start proper qualifications. It's not quite an A-level. When I did HNC the monkeys on the course were previously AVCE students.
