Hi guys hope everyone is well & found this video useful or helpful! @chaska8144 also provided extra resources (not mentioned in the video) that you may also benefit from. So huge thanks to them! Here's what they said: I'll jus write it again because it wasnt structure into a list, the spec specific resources everyone knows, but general resources which aren't specifically tied to a some qualification are more valuable, they will usually already include everything in the spec Spec specific: - Savemyexams for OCR - PMT - ADA computer science - Craig n dave Programming (important): - Bro code 12 hour python course (you don't need to watch all of it as later parts go beond the spec, but it includes everything in the spec including OOP and recursion etc) - W3schools website to be used alongside yt video, it has all the syntax for example if you searched up "W3schools list methods" it will show lots of them with examples on how to use (cheat sheet) - Codewars for infinite coding practice - Codechef - The Euler project @Adunn1 also mentioned that Isaac computer science is a pretty good source aswell!

Thank youuu, not finding a lot resources online is so real😭😭

NEA was the worst experience ever. They really didn’t have to include it in the spec tho 😔😔

Glad to hear that I wasn't the only one who found coursework to be hard! Thanks for the video man, it was really useful!! All the best :)

I'm not even joking this is the best video I've ever seen on A level computer science i really needed this and wasn't able to skip a single second in this video i hope to get from a D to a C in 1 week to pass the progression exam to get to year 2.Thanks

I know some ppl who copied code straight out of chatGPT & did not get penalised. Don't rely too much on it though, test the code to make sure it works (50% of the time it doesn't) At the end of the day (if you're studying AQA at least) the examiners don't really examine your ACTUAL code, rather they just read your report & check how neat your code looks (add comments to your code, use meaningful identifier names , etc) I'm so glad you found this video useful.

kieron, so im studying aqa a level further maths and i wanted to know if my method is good or not. i read through a section of the textbook, and use the digital version of the textbook to answer the exam style questions at the end of the section on goodnotes, so i can look back on it and stuff. is this an optimal way of studying or could i improve it?

@joestevens2468

2 ай бұрын

obviously i will also do past papers when i have learnt all the content

@KieronAndrews

2 ай бұрын

It's definitely a good method because you are answering exam style Qs after familiarizing yourself with the content! Me personally - I would use KZread to help understand each section but if textbooks work best with you then go for it. Your textbook has written solutions i presume? If so there's no need to store the questions you complete in my opinion. Just answer Qs, move on & when you need to go over a topic again, practice Qs around that topic instead of referring to the solutions that you've written out. Just so that revision is you practicing Qs rather than looking back on solutions. The only solutions I would store are ones after completing past papers OR if the Q was very difficult and I know I wouldn't be able to answer that Q again in months time 😂 Also I'd say mix it up a bit. Don't just use textbooks for exam style Qs, use PMT, MadAsMaths & Maths Genie.
