Sequence 20 — Examination Preparation
An examination-readiness layer, not new content: command words, question interpretation, timed Paper 1/Paper 2-style practice, a whole-course mock examination, and self-assessment against named performance dimensions, across the whole specification.
Whole-Course Retrieval
- Identify strengths and weaknesses across the taught curriculum
- Explain what each command word (state, define, describe, explain, compare, analyse, evaluate, justify) actually demands of a response
Lesson ready
Examination Technique — Paper 1
- Apply effective examination techniques to practical programming and algorithm questions
- Deconstruct a question's command word, constraints, assumptions and mark allocation before answering
Lesson ready
Examination Technique — Paper 2
- Construct high-quality extended responses for theory-based questions
- Distinguish a genuinely evaluative response from an accurate but descriptive one
Lesson ready
Exam Reflection and Improvement
- Self-assess a completed response against named performance dimensions, not just its overall mark
- Turn an identified weakness into a specific, targeted revision action
