Computer Science GCSE

OP

I'm not good at programming. I would be if I practised, but I get demotivated when I get such silly mistakes when I'm coding. Because if that happens, you have to start all over again and it's dreadful

Good luck to you too! I just hope all of the programming doesn't trip me up ahhhhh

I understand, it is. Perhaps watch YouTube videos of people who cover the spec for last minute revision? It could help with even a bit of a refresher

For OCR, I wonder if any Paper 1 topics will come up.
Was a shocker seeing compression on Paper 1.

Thank you so much and you too. Nah I won the waffling competition in Computer Science but English was another level.
