I chose Computer Science GCSE OCR - help

Hello I want help regarding my choice of GCSE subject. I have opted for Computer Science OCR GCSE and wanted all of my options to be EBACC.So , I selected Computer Studies as my second option. However, I am not very good( average ) in this subject and I am unsure if coding is involved in it. Can someone please provide me with some insight on this? If you have also chosen this subject, I would appreciate hearing your thoughts on it.

There will be coding content and you have to do an NEA that should be 100 pages long +, and is your own programming project.

See https://www.ocr.org.uk/Images/558027-specification-gcse-computer-science-j277.pdf
There is pseudocode in the exam, and coding in the NEA:
The NEA: https://www.ocr.org.uk/Images/503195-programming-project-tasks-june-2019-and-june-2020.pdf
When I did gcse computer science in 2021, I did the dice game.

i do OCR B is that is any good
in my school website it says
Paper 1: (50%) Written paper - 1.5 hours (Computer systems)
Paper 2: (50%) Written paper - 1.5 hours (Computational thinking, algorithms and programming) including,
Non-Exam Assessment: Programming project (20 hours) - so its not included in my grade?

See https://www.ocr.org.uk/news/ocr-to-offer-first-gcse-with-fully-digital-exams/
The new module spec, for 2022 onwards.

The NEA contributes to 0% of your final grade (9-1), but is a requirement. ‘Students are to be given the opportunity to undertake a programming task(s) during their course of study which allows them to develop their skills to design, write, test and refine programs using a high-level programming language. Students will be assessed on these skills during the written examinations, in particular component 02 (section B).’
There is no OCR B for gcse computer science, it is just called OCR computer science.

so if i do bad in the programming but very good in written exam will i still get a 9

Yes - the NEA is there to develop your computational thinking and programming to help prepare for the exam

ok so that is better - thanks!

Oh no I'm so sorry, I thought you were doing A-level OCR comp sci - that's where the 20% NEA comes in. You'll be fine at GCSE I'm sure!! Definitely no NEA there. There will be some programming but they will teach it to you, you won't be expected to already know it.

Omg so no NEA at all? Thanks still though - giving u a rep cause u helped just as others lol
