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...


I'm planning on taking computing science to higher, do you think it's a good option?

What did you get for the assignment ? And wow an A :redface: :biggrin:


I got 90% in the assignment (54/60) last year which I was really happy with. Yeah I was very pleased with my A, especially as it's what I want to go and do at uni.

I can thoroughly recommend CfE H Computing Science to anybody who enjoyed N5, and to those who are good with problem solving and computers in general. The course is much the same as N5 - same 2 units, etc - with a lot of the same content, however more content is added - for example you learn about subroutines and parameter passing in the SDD unit.

I really enjoy computing, probably the subject Im most best at :biggrin: Have you guys received your assignment results out of /60 ?


Yeah, I got 56/60 in my assignment. So yeah I guess that's good. My teacher told me that if I get 54% in the exam I can still get an A which is good

My assignment took ages too but it was worth the hard work as I got 56/60. Do you know if every school done the same assignment? What was yours on?

Not every school did the same one because my friend did a different one to me but we may have done the same one...
