my cs exams (ocr) are in like 2 weeks and i still get lost when i see like hard psuedocode algorithm questions
im still doing a bunch but there’s the occasional 6/5 marker i get that i get completely lost on how to approach/can’t do. im so worried i’ll be super unlucky and get a question like that on the paper

i need an A and the boundaries are high imo so i have to do really good on those questions

does anyone have any sort of tips that worked/is working for them for cs alevel, anyhting i could do or any recourses online😵*💫

thank u in advance

Pseudocode is really easy in OCR. What are you stuck on?

I guess merge sort and quicksort pseudocode, i’m not sure if we would be told to ever write those from scratch i really hope not

and just random general complex algorithms i find and i sort of get after going through the mark scheme but i probably wouldn’t think of & write as well, i normally can scrape like 2/6 marks if it’s super hard idk

Memorise them. Your meant to know them, they don't just expect you to be able to do it off the top of your head.
