A Level Computer Science Quiz 2021 Part 3

20 Questions

Quiz Description

Computer science spans the range from theory through programming to cutting-edge development of computing solutions. The work of computer scientists falls into three categories which are designing and building software, developing effective ways to solve computing problems such as storing information in databases and devising new and better ways of using computers.

As a computer science student going in for the CGCE examination, your work falls under the category of knowing your syllabus and also preparing for any question you might face during the exam. As a student, you must be prepared to face any challenging question. In order to do so, it is very important for you to answer as many questions as possible.

To make your journey more interesting and fun, we have designed a quiz purposefully to test your capacity during the upcoming June session exams. With a total of 20 questions, these questions are based on the Advance level computer science syllabus.In addition to this quiz, you can visit our website at gce revision.com to gain more materials and quizzes.
