A Level Computer Science Quiz 2018 Part 3

20 Questions

Quiz Description

Computer Science is an important subject for all students because it teaches you how to think. The act of writing a computer program requires you to think about how to create sequences which are step by step procedures on how to solve a given problem. "The internet is fascinating. We want to look behind the scenes and understand the phenomenon that has become a daily, unquestioned part of our lives.

Computer Science is one of the most integrative subjects not siloed like other subjects taught at school. To guide those going in for any computer science related subjects or topics exams, we have a set a quiz to test their knowledge and understanding of this particular subject. Made of 20 questions only with each having just one possible answer, this quiz is based on the advanced level syllabus. Some of the topic involved include; “Data structure and algorithm computer software”

Just like the questions you have answered, we have provided many resourceful materials on our website.
