Here is a topic prediction I put together for my class. 9/12 markers do not repeat. There are a few topics that notably have not been asked about for quite some time now, so always good to focus on those.

Yes I do - now Component 2 is trickier to predict as there is just less content. 9 markers have repeated for this paper.

For defintions/flashcards - I would recommend CS Master on the app store - CS Master - Computer Science Revision App

How was coursework for everyone? I got lower than I wanted and dropped most of my marks on evaluation and ended up with 52, wanted 60+ so I guess these 2 papers have to go well now hopefully these are better than the gcses we did

60 but I had been hoping for 65. It can’t be as bad as 2023 paper 2…

yeah I remember paper 1 being amazing and then there was paper 2 where everyone thought they would fail. the grade boundaries werent even any lower than usual but surely they cant make another paper like that

yeah I need an A or A* as well I am not so worried about paper 1 but paper 2 scares me a bit because theres so many algorithms to memorise and some of them are quite similar as well

I somehow managed a 63, even tho my program was kind of broken but we move. Spent multiple all-nighters and followed the mark scheme like a mad man. I need a B for my offer, and I'm mega scared for paper 2 (not too amazing at coding) so the mark is mega helping me out.

Restarted it very late so pretty happy that I still managed to get 50 in it but really having to fight for every mark in these papers now if I want a chance at the A* still. Just got to lock in for the next 2 weeks.
