OCR A Level Computer Science Questions By Topic: ERD

As Salamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh World!

This is the 7th resource in this series if memory serves and it's got all the exam questions for entity relationship diagrams or as I like to abbreviated them, ERDs. Anyway, there's quite a few questions from the old spec exams which are relevant so I included those as well.

As far as the technical topics remaining in this series, there's only pseudocode, OOP and the binary stuff left. Not sure how i'm going to go about making those since there's loads of questions from the old spec so finding the right ones for the new spec might prove to be a bit tedious.

Here's the link: ERD

Hope this helps!

OCR A Level Computer Science Questions By Topic: SQL

As Salamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh World!

Here's the questions by topic resource for SQL. I decided to use the old H047/H447 spec exam questions as well for this since the syllabus is practically the same bar a few new structures used in the old spec.

Anyway, these questions are all really good practice especially since there's not that many in the new spec so far so you've got to work with the bare minimum really. I've done the same for the ERD resource which I'll post tomorrow InShaAllah.

Here's the link: SQL

Hope this helps!

OCR A Level Computer Science June 2017 Exam Papers & Markschemes H446/01 Computer Systems + H446/02 Algorithms & Programming

As Salamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh World!

Today's post is the one I've been hinting about for the past couple of days. Thanks to an anonymous reader, I have the opportunity to share the 2017 A level papers along with their respective mark schemes. 

I already have the 2017 AS papers which you can find here but they don't have mark schemes yet so if anyone would like to come forward with those it would be greatly appreciated. 

Anyway, I think i'm going to make a post of all the exam papers so you can view them all in one place. Without further ado, here's the June 2017 exam papers for both components with their mark schemes:



Also, be sure to check out all my resources (42 so far) in this "Big list" I made here.

As always, Hope this helps!

OCR A Level Computer Science Questions By Topic: HTML

As Salamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh World!

This is the 5th resource in this series which means it's reached the halfway point (at least for the technical side of things). I've noticed how some topics which I think of as more technical than theoretical have quite a bit of theory in them so I've basically included everything related to said topics.

Also, for the last 5 I've decided to include exam questions from the old spec papers as well. Just a reminder of those topics that appear in both the old and new spec: Pseudocode, Object-Oriented, SQL, Entity Relationship Diagrams and of course number representation and bases.

Anyway that can all wait for next week InShaAllah but tomorrow i'm going to be sharing something really big InShaAllah so stay tuned!

Here's the link: HTML

Hope this helps!

OCR A Level Computer Science Questions By Topic: CSS

As Salamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh World!

I was initally going to post something else today but decided to save it as a surprise for Sunday's post InShaAllah. Anyway, here's the questions by topic for CSS and tomorrow's post will be the one for HTML InShaAllah which will conclude the web technologies section of the spec. Enjoy!

Here's the link: CSS

Hope this helps!

OCR A Level Computer Science Questions By Topic: JavaScript

As Salamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh World!

I was originally going to group all the web technologies questions all into one resource but then realised there are quite a few questions for each of them. JavaScript for example so far has mostly theoretical questions whereas HTML has mostly technical ones and CSS is a bit of both.

Anyway, today i'll be sharing the JavaScript questions by topic and do CSS and HTML for next week InShaAllah. 

Here's the link: JS

Hope this helps!

OCR A Level Computer Science Questions By Topic: Boolean Algebra

As Salamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh World!

Here's the second resource of my new series which covers all the exam questions on Boolean algebra in one document. There's quite a few of these questions scattered across all the new spec papers so this resource is quite worthwhile to practice your skills. 

Anyway, as far as the technical side of the spec is concerned, that's 2 down and only 8 to go.

Here's the link: Boolean Algebra

Hope this helps!

OCR A Level Computer Science Questions By Topic: Little Man Computer Instruction Set

As Salamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh World!

I'm starting a new series of resources which as you can probably figure out by the title, is grouping all exam questions by topic from all the sample/specimen/practice/past papers of the new and legacy specifications. 


I also intend to make a model answers series for all the technical topics which will work through each question step by step. Anyway, before I get ahead of myself here's the first of many resources to come InShaAllah. 

I was initially going to do this in specification order but then thought to get the 10 technical topics out of the way. The first 10 topics (not in any particular order) I'll be covering in this series InShaAllah are:

  1. Pseudocode
  2. Object-Oriented
  3. HTML
  4. CSS
  5. JavaScript
  6. Little Man Computer Instruction Set
  7. SQL
  8. Boolean Algebra
  9. Entity Relationship Diagrams
  10. Number Representation & Bases

OCR A Level Computer Science Grade Boundaries

As Salamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh World!

I made this resource a few days ago (no idea why I didn't share it earlier but anyways) which basically has all the grade boundaries for both the new and legacy spec papers. Some papers such as the sample, practice and specimen papers don't have grade boundaries so I put some suggested boundaries.

I was going to make this into 2 separate PDFs (one for the new spec papers and the other for the legacy ones) but then decided to just make separate tables all in one document. I'll keep this updated as each year passes InShaAllah. 

Here's the link: Grade Boundaries

Hope this helps!
