Computer Science Exam Top Tips
Break the question down. if it's asking you to explain the advantages and disadvantages, that's 3 marks a piece, so 3 advantages AND 3 disadvantages needed
Always start by stating the obvious and build from there
Don't over think it, if it looks simple, it probably is simple!
Unless you are 100% sure that your first answer is wrong, LEAVE it alone, don't change it!
If you are given a table of data or a graph then it's because you need to use it!
READ the information at the start of the questions, often there's a clue in it...
Use Computer Science vocabulary, not "stuff", "things" etc.
Make a flowchart rather than write Pseudocode
