Work towards a solution you can explain
Analyse
Define the problem
Specify the inputs, required output and constraints. Break a large task into smaller operations before writing code.
Trace
Follow the logic
Record changing values and explain the decisions made by an algorithm. Test a small example before scaling up.
Evaluate
Compare approaches
Consider whether a solution is correct, efficient and suitable. Choose test data that can reveal a genuine weakness.
Prepare for the right on-screen paper
AQA provides preliminary material and a skeleton program for Paper 1. Work with the material and language for your own exam series. Practise understanding and adapting code, rather than only rehearsing answers.
Frequently asked questions
Can a tutor complete or fix my assessed project?
Your project must remain your own work. A tutor can develop general programming and problem-solving skills within your centre’s rules, but should not produce assessed code or documentation for you.
Can lessons focus on theory?
Yes. Databases, data representation, computer architecture and other areas can be explored through examples and exam questions. Explain which topics you find hardest.
What should I bring to an introduction?
Your course code, programming language and an attempted question are useful. Use the free 15-minute introduction to discuss your goals and the tutor’s approach.
