A-level Methods of Capturing Data

What is a common method for capturing data using paper-based forms?

• Utilizing Structured Query Language
• Employing Electronic Data Interchange
• Filling out forms by hand
• Using Optical Mark Recognition

What is the main purpose of capturing data using paper-based forms?

• To exchange data electronically.
• To collect information manually for later input.
• To automate data entry processes.
• To eliminate the need for data validation.

What is the primary function of Optical Character Recognition (OCR)?

• To create paper-based forms for data collection
• To manually input data from paper forms
• To analyze data integrity in databases
• To interpret the shape of letters for automated data input

Which of the following describes a key advantage of using Optical Mark Recognition (OMR)?

• It can read handwritten text.
• It is ideal for processing multiple choice tests.
• It requires extensive manual data entry.
• It is used for capturing audio data.

How does Structured Query Language (SQL) assist in data management?

• By providing a method for manual data entry
• By enabling the selection and manipulation of data
• By capturing data from paper forms
• By allowing users to visually enter commands

Which method allows users to enter commands visually rather than through text?

• Optical Mark Recognition
• Query by Example
• Database Manipulation Language
• Optical Character Recognition

Which of the following is NOT a method of capturing data?

• Paper-based forms
• Database Manipulation Language
• Optical Mark Recognition
• Optical Character Recognition

Which of the following best describes the process of data management?

• Editing, adding, or deleting records in a database.
• Capturing data from paper forms only.
• Only adding new data to a database.
• Exchanging data between different systems.

What is a key feature of Database Management Systems (DBMS)?

• They only support manual data entry.
• They are not used for data exchange.
• They provide an extra layer of abstraction for data management.
• They eliminate the need for data validation.

Which of the following statements about data integrity is true?

• Errors in data cannot be replicated across systems.
• Data integrity is only a concern for manual data entry.
• Validation rules help maintain data integrity.
• Data integrity is not important in databases.
