Sixth Form Information A Level Computing

Sixth Form Information AS Level Computing Changes to Computing A Level Exams taking place at the end of the qualification (linear). AS & A Level are separate courses. Greater emphasis on knowledge & content. Reduction in coursework (A Level, NEA 40% to 20%) No resits to be taken. More time over to A Level study (9 to 10 lessons) More Maths / Scientific / Logic based content Sixth Form Information A Level Computing
