Computing GCSE - Biglad465 - 08-26-2019

Recently got back my results for GCSE Computing (not sure what the American equivalent is but GCSE are nationwide exams) . I ended up getting a grade 7 (equal to an A) . So not bad , I was predicted a 9 (top grade) which gave false confidence and I was slightly under-prepared for the exam due to lack of studying (my only revision was browsing on here lmao) . No biggie. I also did the exam a year early and came in late so I was slightly stressed about that Biggrin

Either way I feel I did okay and so of the questions were pointless imo ( e.g. explain what defensive design is ) . SInister gave me lots of confidence with this , I walked into the exam hall hoping for a question like :

Code:
Explain the basics of social engineering amazon

That was a bit optimistic I guess. Either way sinister.ly really built my passion for computing so thanks everyone <3 there's certainly things I wouldn't have known had I not found this forum.

How did you guys do in your computing exams / qualifications?

thanks for the encouragement Smile hopefully  I do just as well when I take the exam at a higher level in a few years time.

@InfochiHarry ah yeh coursework lmao , they ended up scrapping it for us due to people leaking it online. We still had to do a coding project though. Once i'm back at school I'll probably post mine here for the lolz.

Edit : @InfochiHarry , assuming you're talking about Computing exam here as well?

Yeah I am it’s slightly different I believe as I’m doing more of home ict so like smart devices and vr but I would have preferred to have done coding but what I’m doing is alright.
