Computer Studies consists of one written examination paper and a coursework project.

  • Paper 1 (worth 75% of the total marks) is 2.5 hours in length and consists of short-answer and structured questions with no choice.
  • Paper 2 (worth 25% of the total marks) is a coursework project of a substantial nature carried out over an extended period. The project gives students the opportunity to find a computer-based solution to a significant problem and carry it through to a successful conclusion. It is assessed by the Centre and is moderated by CIE.
