14 To be marked as a level of response: 8

Level 3 (7–8 marks):

Candidates will give reasoned similarities and differences. There will be a reasoned
conclusion. They will relate the answer to both CLI and GUI. The information will be
relevant, clear, organised and presented in a structured and coherent format.

Level 2 (4–6 marks):

Candidates will expand on similarities/differences relating the answer to both GUI
and CLI. Some of the points may be one sided. There may be a conclusion. For the
most part, the information will be relevant and presented in a structured and
coherent format.

Level 1 (1–3 marks):

Candidates only list a difference/similarity. Candidates only refer to GUI or CLI.
Answers may be simplistic with little or no relevance.

Level 0 (0 marks)
Response with no valid content

Answers may make reference to, for example:

Post GUI allows the use of pinching, scrolling, expanding
Post GUI allows the use of touch screen but a CLI does not allow for this
Icons speed up finding instructions, CLI you have to type out the commands in full
No editing in CLI
If a mistake is made in CLI it could have major consequences whereas GUI has less
impact
Due to graphics GUI uses a lot of memory, CLI is a lot smaller program
Loss of memory slows down the operations of the computer
GUI cannot operate properly if memory is low
The loss of memory affects kinds of applications that can be run
GUI more user friendly CLI the commands have to be memorised
GUI has a more varied use on other devices not just computers
In a CLI several commands have to be typed in rather than one command in GUI
CLI commands have to be typed in every time the same command is run
GUI sometimes have CLI embedded within them

CLI and GUI both carry out file management CLI and GUI use similar utilities
Both are operating systems
Both control the hardware and software

Question Answer Marks

15 Advantages 6
Max four marks:
− If the screen is 90 degrees to the window it reduces the glare/eye strain
− If you use a screen filter/blue glasses eye strain is reduced
− If LCD/TFT screens are used then eye strain is reduced
− If my eye is level with the top of the screen it will reduce eye strain/neck ache
− If I take breaks from excessive clicking on the mouse/keyboard this reduces
RSI
− Using voice activated systems reduces RSI
− If I use a wrist rest/an ergonomic mouse it will reduce RSI
− If I use an ergonomic chair it will reduce back ache
− If I do not use the computer for long periods of time this will reduce
− RSI/back ache/ eye strain/Carpel syndrome/Cubital syndrome/Neck pain/DVT

Disadvantages
Max four marks:
− Turning the screen can reduce your ability to see clearly on the screen
− Laptops can be difficult to ensure the screen is 90 degrees as the whole unit
needs to be moved
− The cost of safety equipment can be expensive
− Using voice activated systems can be prone to many errors which may
increase RSI correcting them
− Users can become over-reliant on equipment
− With laptops/screens it can be difficult to position it so the eye level is at the
top of the screen
− Taking breaks every hour can increase the work time

A mark can be awarded for a reasoned conclusion

Level 0 (0 marks)
Response with no valid content

Answers may make reference to, for example:

Bluetooth is more useful when transferring data between two devices whereas WiFi is
more suited to full scale networks
Bluetooth does not buffer
The devices connected via Bluetooth should be near to each other whereas WiFi has a
larger range
Less data tends to be transferred with Bluetooth
Bluetooth uses a lower bandwidth
Eg sound data (phones) or file transfer (computers)
WiFi has better security than Bluetooth
Cost of Bluetooth is cheaper than WiFi
Bluetooth has a shorter password
Bluetooth devices are battery operated which needs to be replaced or recharged but
WiFi do not necessarily use batteries
To connect to the network need a Bluetooth adapter but WiFi needs a WiFi adapter, a
wireless router and a wireless access point
Bluetooth range is approx. 20m whereas WiFi is approx. 100m
Bluetooth is simple to use and setup but WiFi is more complex
Bluetooth/Wifi are both wireless can’t fall over the wires/move around the house
Saves money (on cables) as both do not require wires
Bluetooth is more energy efficient than wifi
in some cases 3% of the energy

Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the question paper and the Principal Examiner Report for
Teachers.

Cambridge will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes.

effect of this would be to reduce the storage space required for the image and hence its

could be further reduced by reducing the image quality as you save the file.
