Yeah just try and kill theory! That's what i'm doing to try and do well haha. The theory is no way as hard as the programming paper


It's not but my teachers were shite and hardly taught us anything so I've basically got to learn the whole syllabus in a week while I still have 3 other exams to revise for and take 😴😴😴

You can do it, just split up sections to learn each day. :smile: I've 6 exams left haha
Hey guys for the second question my code worked, but it didn't subtract 1 from the length of the ship...how many marks would I lose for this?

How many marks was the check sunk question?
I think it was 8 marks for the code and 2 for the test

That exam was absolute aids. I genuinely hope the AQA Team who made that paper get arseh*le pummelled by one of those shitty little torpedos. Trace tables can go finger themselves as well. Anyone who says that exam was easy is either a full blown liar or a full blown meatball who programs for a living (no offence).

What did everyone get as the answers for the pseudo code translation question, when you had to input 47 and m, and 77 and a (or whatever it was)?

I couldn't get it to work and kept getting 4 and 0, and I think it should've been 5 and 6. Unfortunate very hard paper, was pushed for time and even certain questions in section A and B were difficult ( Trace table question).

I think I got 4 and 2, but like you, I didn't really think about what I was doing and I didn't have to check my answers at the end

I really hope it's not meant to be 5 and 6, because I think I got 4 and 2

Yeah same! i needed a good 30 mins extra to finish stuff and check, hopefully AQA next year won't be as harsh as they were this year lol
The only question in actually confident on is the validation code question

Which Q was that?
Unofficial mark scheme anyone?
Original post by brodingoson
Which Q was that?


the first coding question, where you had to do validation on the Row, so if an invalid number was entered it would display an error message
