I prepared by studying from those booklets, studying from my teacher's notes, practicing algorithms and finally doing about 8 years of past papers. Paper went very well and got an A* by the grace of Allah. BTW, if you are not sure if something is in the syllabus, check the 2012 syllabus out.

It's an easy subject to score an A* in if you did the project too and scored high marks in that. When do you guys have your paper 1?

22nd May! Tips please, no time for past papers, I can do only few

booklets and where do we practice algorithms from?

algorithms? you mean pseudo codes? dude open past papers prior to 2000.. you will find pseudo codes which will blow your mind away ..

 

[leosco1995]

Do at least 3-4 years of past papers, 2011 backwards. The thing is, there are many questions which may be different, but are of the same nature and some even repeats, like name 3 processes an OS does. I think that has come in at least 5 papers and it's an easy 3-mark question. Also, attempt many algorithm/flowchart questions in the past papers. Chances are, if you have no problems with them, you won't have a problem in your paper unless they give a very tricky question, which is unlikely. Also, they can give questions that involve calculations like they did in our May 2011 paper. Make sure you know how to do them as well.

Otherwise, if you have read the booklets thoroughly and understand them, I think you should definitely be able to get an A. Give the syllabus a quick read to make sure you haven't missed out anything important. Pray and hope for the best.

Process Management
Memory Management
File Management

 

[SalmanPakRocks]

Ok so you're saying is we should study the booklets effectively and do at lease 3 year past papers which makes it 6 years past papers?
My project went 50/50 and I so want an A*.

 

[syed1995]

DON'T FORGET YOUR CALCULATORS FOR THE PAPER GUYS...

 

[leosco1995]

Hmm, okay. There's many answers in the marking scheme. Here are some of them:

1. File management.
2. Handling interrupts.
3. Providing a user interface.
4. Networking
5. Memory management.

And you're welcome.
