Computer Science Exam Preparation for GCSE & A-Level

Exam technique is where most Computer Science grades are won or lost. Our 1:1 online lessons focus on how marks are actually awarded — working through past papers and mark schemes for your exact specification: OCR (J277 & H446), AQA (8525 & 7517) or Edexcel (1CP2).

How we prepare you

  • Past paper practice, every week

    We work through real past paper questions for your exam board, under timed conditions where it helps, so nothing in the real exam is a surprise.

  • Mark scheme technique

    We teach you how examiners award marks — command words, keyword-based marking, and how to structure long-answer questions for full credit.

  • Targeted revision plans

    We audit the specification against your strengths and weaknesses, then build a revision plan focused on the topics that will move your grade the most.

  • Resources between lessons

    Practice questions, past papers and revision notes tailored to your exam board, so progress continues between sessions.
