How to practise Computational Thinking (CT)
- Start with the newest papers of the exam you are sitting: every Computational Thinking (CT) paper, by exam and year.
- Open a paper in learning mode to see each answer and its explanation as you go.
- A few days before the exam, take one as a timed mock test: it is marked the moment you submit, with the paper’s own marks and negative marks.
- Check your answers against the answer keys, then review the questions you got wrong.
