Hey, I'm Josh, in Year 9. I'm aiming for a 9, managed to get a 9 in the mock so would be great to do that again 🙂 What sort of questions does everyone think will come up this year?

definitely files, they didn't ask it last year so im betting on a major question on files. probably some sort of turtle too

Does formatting have a strong chance of coming up like I've been working on it but I hate it. Also what topic would it go under, and GOOD LUCK FOR TMRW

definitely. I would hate for merge sort or bubble sort or binary search algorithm to come up - seen it once before

For sort algorithms, if you have a list where each index is comparable like listName = [ 3, 6, 5,1] you can put listName = sorted(listName) and it sorts it for you, I'm not sure how to write the code specifically for bubble or merge , also this is for python

How did it go everyone!!
