Computing Revision
Revision notes for Scottish Higher, Intermediate and Standard Grade Computing
Higher Computing
Fi you studiede Intermediate 2 last year, then you will revisit the same topics, but going into greater depth and detail. If you studied S-grade, you will meet new topics, especially in the optional unit.
For Higher, you sit a 2.5 hour exam worth 140 marks. It is a very demanding exam, so you need to be well prepared. The exam makes up 70% of your overall award; the other 30% comes from the practical coursework task you completed during the year.
The exam has 3 sections:
* section 1 (30 marks) is made up of short answer questions on the 2 mandatory units - Computer Systems and Software Development.
* section 2 (60 marks) consists of longer questions requiring some problem solving ability, again covering the 2 mandatory units
* section 3 (50 marks) tests your understanding of the optional unit that you studied (Artificial intelligence, multimedia Technology or Computer Networking)
