I'm studying IT, but this course is about communications technology.
It's mostly math and physics that come together in hardware like modems, transmission towers, (mobile) phones, etc.
It's an OO world.

Yep, a lot of that stuff! Thanks for the link

After this course my inquisitive mind is a bit less inquisitive
Nah, I probably couldn't stop learning. I'll just stay away from math for awhile...

What is the school you are attending?
My degree is in electrical engineering and I took a communications course in school decades ago. The theory has not changed since then. It helped that I was into amateur radio because I knew what theory was likely to show up on tests, and what was used less often.
The communications exams I took had algebra and calculus. They were not typically multiple choice exams.
I don't know what to tell you other than to study the course material. I could give tips, but I might tell you to study things that aren't on the exam.
Do you have any specific questions?

I'm studying at the Open University, so I'm not attending anything. I do all my study at home.
Being into amateur radio would've helped me a lot. There's a lot about (radio)waves, frequencies, transmissing, AM, FM, PM (Phase Modulation), ASK (Amplitude Shift Keying), FSK, PSK and QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation).
Unfortunately, I'm not technical at all. I know how to switch on a computer and that's where my hardware knowledge stops. That is also the reason I started to study. I want to know more about computers and technologies in general (like email, networks, internet, hardware, etc.).
I started programming in .NET a few years ago, but before that I had little knowledge of anything computer related. I was a gamer, so at least I knew how to install software and troubleshoot some minor problems (with the help of my good friend Google, of course).
I can be pretty into something, so I learned a lot about programming in a short time. I wrote my first article here on CP after four months and won a prize in the first year. But I still didn't know anything besides .NET (and some general programming knowledge), so I enrolled for some OU courses.
After seeing all the math I have to do I'm not so sure if I want it anymore (I can get into anything, except math). The only problem with this course is the math really.
I should write an article about math and treat it like a programming problem. If I did that I'd know more about math than my study ever required. My mind is not ready for it though...

Good luck for you.
You have one more day to get ready for the exam, and just an advice: Don't eat hard boiled eggs before exam.
Don't mind those people who say you're not HOT. At least you know you're COOL.

A fair point - it can be speeded up to 10 minutes with only a 45% loss of fidelity - well within the published SLA

I know what I want for my next anniversary. Enjoy[^] - and see if you can spot all the Easter eggs before reading what's there.

OK, that's understandable. Now what's has to do with it all the mechanical stuff on the right?

Pete, I think if you look closely at the young lady doing some kind of cross between a push-up and a yoga asana, you will see that she is, evidently, double-jointed (hint: look at her arms and elbows). The photo suggests hyper-laxity of the elbow-joint.
It is well known that those owning double-jointed persons frequently die of unusual causes, as well as heart-attacks.
While there's nothing wrong with fantasies (praise be), I suggest you reconsider her as a possible gift, unless, of course, that's your wife's choice, in which case ... well ... after all ... she must be obeyed.
cheers, Bill

I've been married too long or I'm far too much of a geek. I had no idea what you were on about so I went back to that page. I hadn't noticed that young lady - my eyes having been drawn to the rather large picture opposite.
