I feel like the paper could go superbly well if I get the ideal questions as I am really good with programming and understanding/writing algorithms. At this point I'm just worried if I get thrown off guard by some weird questions so just need to be prepared for the worst

That was so easy. The 11 marker was so simple.
The Subroutine name should have been something like "End"
The parameter should have been "board"
You should have used variables "hits" and "alive"
There should have been at most 2 IF statements.
You should have ended the Subroutine.
My teacher said there would probably be 2 marks for the name of the subroutine and the parameter.

What are you plans for the rest of the day? Afternoon off? Or another exam hot on the heals of this one?

Didn't have enough time to go through my answers but I am pretty sure I got the majority right, the 11 marker and 6 marker was actually really straight forward, surprisingly. I might have lost a mark for forgetting to end the subroutine, but hopefully it isn't that big of a deal. Hopefully I did alright, a lot of easy multiple choice and shorter questions which should help out where I potentially might have lost a couple marks.

I thought it went well too, I feel like my pseudocode was too simple for 11 marks. But the paper seemed to good to be true! I'm going to take a bit of a break then get cracking with biology revision for tommorow.

Fingers crossed on a good grade then
Enjoy your break!
Hopefully the weather is as nice near you as it is right here

Rip i didn't see that we had to make it a subroutine so i just wrote it as straight code.
Do you reckon i could still get marks for it as the rest of it was correct.

Is this answer 11/11 you guys think?
SUBROUTINE WhateverYouWantToCallThisThing(B oard)
NotHit = 0
For i = 0 to LEN(Board) - 1
h = board(i)
IF h = 1 THEN
NotHit = NotHit + 1
ENDIF
ENDFOR
IF NotHit = 0 THEN
OUTPUT ("winner")
ELSEIF Nothit => 1 AND Nothit<= 3 THEN
OUTPUT ("almost there")
ENDIF
ENDSUBROUTINE

Any guesses about grade boundaries, guys? It was definitely harder than last year's paper 1
