There are two papers, each 1 hour 30 minutes, 80 marks and half the GCSE. The first covers computer systems: architecture, memory and storage, networks, network security, systems software and the wider impacts. The second covers computational thinking, algorithms and programming: one section on algorithms, programming, Boolean logic and languages, and one where you write, refine and test code in pseudocode or a high-level language such as Python.
