Available years: 2025, 2024, 2023
A balanced and highly structured Paper 1 examination focusing on fundamental computer science theory. It covers networking topologies, physical and virtual hardware layers, data representation (including sign & magnitude and image calculations), and algorithmic analysis using trace tables and flowchart design.
A balanced and highly typical Pearson Edexcel series. Paper 1 offered accessible recall questions alongside standard logic design challenges, while Paper 2 tested candidate versatility with complex string manipulation, file handling, and a highly differentiating 2D array problem.
This examination series comprises two papers: a theoretical principles paper (120 mins) and a computational thinking practical coding paper (180 mins). Key themes included binary representation, hardware communication, and robust programmatic implementations such as file handling and array scanning.
