Exam preparation

The missions begin with simple output statements and gradually develop towards more demanding tasks involving functions, arrays, nested loops, file handling, searching, sorting and debugging.

Students can work independently while the automatic checking, hints and model solutions reduce the need for constant teacher support. This makes the resource particularly useful for classes containing students with very different levels of programming confidence.

All practice missions are original and designed to develop the programming techniques and problem-solving skills needed for GCSE Computer Science examinations.
