A Level Computer Science Quiz 2018 Part 2

15 Questions

Quiz Description

Just like the law of conservation of energy which says energy cannot be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another. Students are yet to realize that questions cannot be created but are mostly created from the already questions. So, at this rate it is integral for any student going in for any examination to answer as many questions as possible.

Computer science being one of the most influential subjects in the 21st century is defined as study of computers and algorithmic processes, including their principles, their hardware and software designs, their applications, and their impact on society.

A computer science student must never stop learning, and always tries to stay up to date with the latest questions and how they can approach them. To solve this problem, this question has been created. The quiz is made up of the most recent questions in the advanced level syllabus and contains questions of the most recent years.

Just like the questions, you can visit our website to gain more recent materials.
