How to practice for pre-release? (computer science, CIE)

(CIE computer science)
Could someone help me understand what the pre-release questions in the exam are, how they work and how to prepare for them? resources/tips would be much appreciated bc i suck at coding and am at my wits end.

You can prepare in lots of ways, using websites like: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/A-level_Computing/AQA/Paper_1/Skeleton_program/2023
Which give answers to predicted questions and code for implementations they could ask, so if you aren't great at coding try to memorise some of the coding solutions.
