Dont stress, when I did GCSE ICT my teacher did not teach us anything and I mean like nearly all the GCSE classes failed because she taught the majority of them. Anyway Im not sure about OCR but I did WJEC I think, and all I did was made notes on everything literally like a night or two before, that does not mean to say that you should do the same. Also I found that doing past papers helped sooooo much as I was familiar with the wording when I went into the exam! I recommend that you do past papers because they do repeat questions.


Good luck :smile:

Can I ask when did you start doing past papers? What grade did you get?

Well I did some questions roughly in class but basically the night before I looked at the question paper answered the question briefly in my head and checked the mark scheme. This way you know what the examiners are looking for. But I only did that because I didnt have much time but you have time to properly go through papers.

I got an A and full marks on my two coursework modules.

Thank you :smile:
I've looked at past papers and to be honest some of the wording does not make sense to me!
