You need to learn a Language for the paper 2 of 9691.. most people do VB .NET since it's the most simplest language to learn and it's the closest to english, but you can do any language which you might have even the tiniest bit of experience.. like I myself did C#, while some of my friends did Java and majority did VB .NET. And you can only do AS Computing privately.. A2 Computing cannot be done privately needs to be done from a CIE-registered institute/school.

Since you have so little time left.. If you know JAVA then that's great just practice writing those in JAVA.. but if not I'd suggest you memorize the codes for VB .NET from all the marking schemes for those questions and hope that only those questions come in the paper.

Thanks for your reply. I study in a CIE-registered school but the school does not have a computing teacher. I have my computing paper 1 tomorrow and I have problems in answering questions on HCI. I guess I tend to interpret the questions incorrectly and the answer I give is usually not the same as in the MS. I read notes from various sources but still no help. Please help.

Hey, I am wondering if I can use ANY method of the java.lang.String class when answering the question in JAVA (Computing P2).
For eg. This is the question:

All bikes in stock have a bike ID. Each bike ID is six characters long and has the format
BIKEXX, where X is a digit.
For example, BIKE65 is a valid bike ID.
(i) In a high-level programming language write code that will validate the format of a
bike ID input into the variable BikeID and output a suitable message. (Add extra
line numbers if required.)
The question is for 10 marks and I answered this:
JAVA
Code:
if(bikeID.matches("BIKE[0-9]{2}"))
    System.out.println("Valid");
else
    System.out.println("Invalid");
It still does the job. Will I get marks for this, using REGEX?
