2024 Question Paper Marking Scheme

nlbuchananc — 2024-11-13 21:52:47 UTC

Purpose

nlbuchananc — 2025-01-09 11:33:41 UTC

These revision notes give a summary of the topics covered in the courses, as well as some exercises that you can work through to practice your knowledge and understanding.

Purpose

nlbuchananc — 2025-01-09 11:37:35 UTC

These websites contain all the content of the Computing science course broken down into units and topics. They are useful when used in conjunction with the past papers.

Scholar and Achieve also have assessment tools within them - although Scholar has more information in than you need.

My personal choice for support is The Nat 5 Revision site/ Achieve and Mr Neil. e-Sgoil is great for webinars - but you need to check their timetable out

Purpose

nlbuchananc — 2025-01-09 11:39:39 UTC

This is the course specifications that are published by the SQA - they given a list of the Knowledge and understanding that you should have of each topic - useful to identify where your strengths and weaknesses are.

Purpose

nlbuchananc — 2025-01-09 11:42:57 UTC

These are the SQA past exam papers and marking schemes. You should really work through these to gain an understanding of how questions are asked.

I would always use past papers as my first study resource and the others to help if I don't know the answers.

Purpose

nlbuchananc — 2025-01-09 11:45:15 UTC

The Computing Science Scotland site is excellent at demonstrating the practical elements of the course. This will be the most useful when doing the assignment.

It will also be useful at understanding the construct of various programming elements such as standard algorithms.

Purpose

nlbuchananc — 2025-01-09 11:46:30 UTC

These will also be useful when looking at the structure of programming and SQL statements. This section also contains the SQA guide to their pseudocode (SQARL)

Have a look at their timetable - they have on-line support sessions - you can sign up to these using your Glow login setails
