The CCEA AS 1 Software Systems Development examination comprises 100 marks across 7 structured questions in 2 hours. It heavily tests Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) core concepts including inheritance, polymorphism (virtual/override), class definitions, property encapsulation, and object arrays, alongside robust string manipulation, exception handling (custom exception throwing and try-catch architecture), and serialization fundamentals.
The CCEA AS 1 Software Systems Development (SDV11) 2024 paper provides a balanced and rigorous assessment of core Object-Oriented Programming fundamentals in C#/Java. Candidates are heavily tested on code synthesis across 2D arrays, class hierarchies with inheritance (`base`, `virtual`, `override`), polymorphism, dynamic type checking/casting, and string manipulation alongside standard testing terminology and test-plan design.
The CCEA GCE AS Unit 1 (SDV11) paper tests foundational object-oriented programming concepts, class design, inheritance hierarchies, standard algorithms (sorting and uniqueness searching), and exception handling in C#/Java. Candidates are heavily assessed on syntactic fluency in class structures, parameter passing to base constructors, and iterating over object arrays.
