A Level Computer Science Quiz 2020 Part 1

15 Questions

Quiz Description

Computer science is the study of computers and algorithmic processes including their processes, including their principles, their hardware and software designs, their application and their impact on society. This world of technology is still advancing today because of the development in computer science.

Many students believe that to answer a multiple-choice question they need only be able to recognize and so need only do minimal revisions. A well-written multiple-choice examination, however, will require you(student) not only to have thorough knowledge of the subject, but also to be able to integrate information and to discriminate between answers.

In this effect, to help students gain this understanding, we have designed a quiz made up of 15 questions. These questions are from the recent years of the CGCE examinations. Some of the topics students will encounter in this quiz include “computer arithmetic and logic gate, software systems, etc.
