There are two papers, each worth 75 marks and half the GCSE. The first is a written paper of 1 hour 30 minutes on the principles of computer science. The second is a 2 hour onscreen paper: you complete, amend, fix and write Python programs on a computer, ending with longer tasks. These practice exams set the second paper as code questions that run against tests in the browser.
