Module 1: Computer Systems A traditionally marked and structured question paper with a mix of question types: short-answer, longer-answer, and levels of response mark scheme-type questions. Module 2: Algorithms & Programming Section A: Traditional questions concerning computational thinking: • Elements of computational thinking • Programming and problem solving • Pattern recognition, abstraction and decomposition • Algorithm design and efficiency • Standard algorithms Section B: There will be a scenario / task in Section B. This could be either an algorithm or a text-based task, which will involve problem solving.
There are 2 exams, each lasting 2.5 hours and work 40% of the course. These are: 1) Computer Systems 2) Algorithms & Programming There is also a Non-Examined Assessment worth 20%. In this, students select their own user-driven problem of an appropriate size and complexity to solve. This will enable them to demonstrate the necessary skills and knowledge.
