Build a reliable programming habit
Plan
Describe the job before coding
Identify the inputs, required outputs and any conditions. Work through a small example to check you understand the problem.
Build
Write and inspect a small section
Use Python 3 to implement one part. Trace the variables and explain how selection or repetition changes the result.
Test
Try cases that could expose an error
Check ordinary values and relevant boundaries. Explain the cause of a failure before changing the code.
Practical preparation matters
Paper 2 requires students to write, test and refine programs. Watching coding demonstrations alone does not provide the same practice as building a solution yourself. Tell your tutor which development environment your school uses.
Frequently asked questions
Is Paper 2 a coursework project?
No. For 1CP2 it is an externally assessed onscreen examination using Python 3. Your school organises the assessment environment.
Can lessons cover the written paper as well?
Yes, if agreed with your tutor. You might work on data representation, networks or explaining how a computer system works, alongside programming practice.
What should I send before a lesson?
An attempted program, its error message and the task instructions are useful. Remove passwords or personal information from any shared code.
