COMPUTER STUDIES ATC TOPIC RELEASED !!!

[haha101]

dude the syllabus says : Candidates need to be able to draw a systems flowchart to outline
each of the stages in the final computerised solution. Use of the
standard systems flowchart symbols would be expected.
Candidates should be able to recognise the common flowchart symbols
and the common pseudocode key words.
Candidates should study the use of pseudocode and normal flowcharts,
in particular:
Dry running of an algorithm in either the form of pseudocode or
flowchart. Candidates should be able to use trace tables to show the
logical steps through an algorithm and be able to show the values of all
the variables at each stage in the algorithm.

READ DA SYLLAUS BEFORE SPEAKIG

maybe u should have a look at past papers
i dont think there is any chance that they can ask something abt pseudocodes in paper 3...
even if they do its likely to be pretty simple, maybe one or 2 marks at most.
still if u want to keep on ranting that its mentioned in the syllabus then its fine...carry on
stuff thats not in the syllabus comes in computer studies so its perfectly normal that stuff in the syllabus
doesn't land onto the q. paper

 

[AlphaBeta]

why would u want a pseudocode for the project?!!!
its not gonna come anyway...just a basic flowchart of the system is likely to come
the only way to prepare for this nonsensical paper is to do nothing i'd say....
cuz there's NOTHING that can be done

WILL SEE IF that doesnot come

If you really believe a psuedocode will come then go ahead n search for it ! YOu wont find any such thing here !

SORRY Page 29

OK...fine
im pretty ok with pseudocodes so even if it does come i dont really care much and i hv already thrown my A* hopes for computer in the drain cuz paper 1 was quite tough... so i actually am the least bothered

calm down dude THAT was just a possiility cauz i paper1 uexpected thing happened to com

 

[haha101]

kboss dude dont loose hope ! Just ace p3 ! the percentile for computer P1 is going to be low as it was tough

what was unexpected ?

Anyway bro do U think da structure of da paper would change

hope so....
anyways the threshold for p-3 last year for an A was 38 i think....and i think i can get somewhere around 45 so i'll be pretty much OK!!
CUZ I CAN'T get more than 75 on p-1

what was unexpected ?

like da question after DRYRUNNIG OF FLOW CHART

 

[haha101]

Candidates do not need to study a particular programming language for this paper; but they should
know how to use and recognise standard pseudocode key words:
• repeat … until
• if … then … else … endif
• case of … otherwise … endcase
• while … do … endwhile
• for … to … next
• (together with input, output and processing keywords e.g. input x, output “value=” v,
count = count + 1)
Any good text book covering computer studies techniques will contain standard flowchart and systems
flowchart symbols.

There is no mention of "of the computer based system" in here !

Anyway bro do U think da structure of da paper would change

if CIE goes by their norm of 2012.......................
then the ppr is likely to change 100 % and we all shall become like this when see the paper ----> "????????#$%@!??????"

like da question after DRYRUNNIG OF FLOW CHART

It has come alot in the past papers !

unfortunately my book is absolutely terrible and explains the above very vaguely...and my prof sucks too
still im okay with all of the loops apart frm case which i dont understand at all....

U think paper 1 was tough !!!!!!!only da last one was

no worries man! Same here And dont worry ! do you have the booklets ?
