CCEA A-Level Digital Technology 2650 Past Papers

CCEA GCE A2 1 Digital Technology (Information Systems) is a rigorous 150-mark, 2 hour 30 minute examination assessing fundamental advanced computing topics. High-yield areas include Network architecture, protocols, and topology security (49 marks), Relational Database design, normalisation to 3NF, ER modelling, and SQL DML queries (34 marks), Expert Systems and Artificial Intelligence (27 marks), Mobile and Emerging Tech/Robotics/Cloud (22 marks), and Legislation (18 marks). Four extended 6-mark evaluative questions test Quality of Written Communication (QWC).

CCEA A2 1 Information Systems (ADT11) is a 150-mark paper balancing foundational networking and database architecture with advanced computing concepts like neural networks, expert systems, and cloud infrastructure. High performance relies heavily on structured technical precision in SQL, normalisation, and extended prose evaluation.

The CCEA A2 1 Information Systems paper (June 2023) is a comprehensive 150-mark assessment spanning networking, relational databases, expert systems, speech recognition, cloud infrastructure, and computing legislation. Over half the paper focuses heavily on network architectures, media, protocols, and data integrity techniques. It demands rigorous technical terminology, step-by-step database normalisation, ER modelling, and extended evaluations assessed via Quality of Written Communication (QWC).
