  • Paper 2 uses pseudocode and includes a scenario-based programming task.

How to do well

  1. Write pseudocode dailyPaper 2 marks depend on clear, correct pseudocode. Practise translating problems into algorithms.
  2. Trace algorithms by handTrace tables are common exam questions and catch errors in your own code.
  3. Learn the command wordsCambridge mark schemes reward the exact command word: state, describe, explain, calculate. Practise answering to the command, not just the topic.
