Higher Computing Science 2015-2016

Ok, first of all. Get this book: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/190673660X?keywords=bright%20red%20computing%20science&qid=1441136678&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1 . Start working through it, if it is not making much sense then get the N5 version as well. You need a basic understanding of the n5 material for you to build upon in higher. Go through topic by topic in chronological order. If you're stuck, quote me and ask questions and I'll do my best to help.

I'll get that book definitely, I've also downloaded Visual Basic but I can't afford to drop this subject, see the course work what happens in that ?

Yeah, I'm just relying on that to get me a good mark to be honest, how did you find computing, and the exam?

I did information systems last year at higher, which is being replaced by computing science. Yeah, exam went well, got an A1. Will be applying for computing at uni this this year so I would like to think of myself of being decent at the subject 😂😂😂

This is a crash higher for me, and I'm basically lost in the class, I don't know where to start, I'm going to try my best for a B but most likely come out with a C. Does anyone know how/what I can improve? I'm kind of relying on this subject for at least a B.

I just finished going over natural, high and low level languages. We're using VB 2010 in class. I've been getting the database because of admin but that's about it

I have never did Higher Computing Science. But, I crashed the Old Higher Computing and got an A (they're probably completely different, my friend is doing it). But, I'll give you some advice just make sure you study. It is achievable and you will get your B. Good luck!!!

Try buying some books maybe the how to pass.. (that's if they still sell them), ask a lot of questions in class, watched online tutorials and try going on Youtube and watch solutions to previous Compute Science papers/going over certain aspects of the course.

Its possible and I wish you the best! I wish I had another year at school so I could crash H Computing Science :P

It's funny you just said but the how to pass books because they came in today haha, yeah I'm really not feeling this subject, the theory it's okay and moderately interesting but I'm worried about the assignment/coursework, what do you normally do?

That's amazing how you got an A by crashing it, well done, I wish I could do so too, my teacher put me down for a high B which is alright I suppose

Also with watching tutorials/videos what do you mean? Do you mean watching people programming/coding? If you have any good videos/channels pleas a let me know, some parts are pretty straightforward for me but most is just a different language...

Well, what I would do I would write a list of all the aspects of programming you don't understand. For example, how to declare a variable. I would type into Youtube that itself and the programming language you are using which in your case if VB.

Hey guys! So how are your projects coming around?

Not started, I'm dreading mine, and the NARS, and the prelim the whole subject I'm gonna fail. I'm aiming for atleast a B and have been targeted one, which is almost impossible considering how lost I am in there. How's yours going anyway?

I'm doing advanced higher this year haha. Just wanted to check up on the highers. A good advice i can give to you is to be consistent when it comes to the project. Do some work on the project then write about it in your diary/log. I wouldnt worry about it. Just remember to stay on task.

And dont forget to study, you will see for yourself that the notes will start piling on top of each other pretty soon.
