National 5 Computing Science

Since there wasn't a national 5 computing science forum.

I decided to create one and feel free to discuss the exam before and after :smile:

I got 76% in the prelim, also hoping for an A in the exam. How's your revision going, have you finished the course?

I dont know why I even took it. I guess I thought I could go into software engineering but then my school issued us a really terrible prelim and nobody passed (I got 11%) but then they gave a second prelim which was much better and I got a C. In the exam I got a B. I also hated my computing teacher because she was determined to tell me that I could never do software engineering and didnt want me sitting Nat 5 because she was SO sure I wouldnt pass! She was so reluctant on letting me sit the final exam and when I did I bet the B grade slapped her in the face. Ironically, she told me to take higher computing after results day and I blatantly said no thanks :biggrin:

Oh man they are the worst.

Looking forward to the question where they give you a set of instructions and you have to draw it or something lol :P

hahaha I could imagine that felt sooo goood :P
I still remember the course really well so if anyone needs help feel free to quote me :smile:
I really enjoy computing, probably the subject Im most best at :biggrin: Have you guys received your assignment results out of /60 ?

Yeah they're nice questions :smile: See the bad thing about computing science is it's all written so no multiple choice

Nothing really apart from the fact that each question is worth 10 marks

Yep. I'm aiming for at least a B.

Ah N5 Computing. Happy memories. Got an A and took it to Higher.

If anybody wants help with anything give me a shout

And btw, if you haven't finished the course by now, I would be very worried...
