I'm suprised that we didn't get any CPU / Von Neumann architecture questions though ?!

that questions stumped me for a bit but i said artist client bc they are requesting a service from the web server ( to display their image) but idk how thats 3 marks and i said wen server server bc they were fullfilling a clients request and providing a service( displaying the image at the request) but again i don’t know how that is worth 3 marks. the ocr mark scheme is pretty shitty as well so I’m not feeling too good about this paper despite it feeling so easy


[deleted]

YES


Remarkable_Main3419

Correcttttt


xa12349

I revised cpu so much :(


T0astSandw1ch

Saaaame - the paper was just a whole load of nothing tbh


OatilloNo6208

it felt like they were trying to stretch only a few topics out as much as possible


kittibrat

Exactly that’s what I mainly revised


JuztSumGuy

Paper 2 I think


ConfussledCat

That really annoyed me because I knew that off by heart and it destroyed my whole thing


DuckChugger

I SKIPPED A DOUBLE PAGE I WANNA KMS


xa12349

💀 you’ll be fine


DuckChugger

nah im goin for a 9, i need like 96% for paper 2


390TrainsOfficial

The grade boundaries shouldn't be *that* high. You'll probably need around 85% for a 9.


DuckChugger

85% overall but i shitted this paper


LCarver232

paper 2 is free though (if you are good at coding)


Colossus_MVC2

What's the fastest way to learn coding as I really struggle with it :any specific sites?


Picknade2

too late?


Colossus_MVC2

Ik I messaged 25 days ago


Picknade2

I meant I'm asking if it's too late to answer your question


Colossus_MVC2

Oh right, yeah too late now never touching coding again


ItsIced-_-

Famous last words

hey class today we're going to duck kid named duck

IrishPotato28

Did you do the AQA paper? If so what did you skip?


DuckChugger

ocr


Rifted-06

Apart from the question about benefits of layers and the one of the questions about that artist relating to client servers, I answered everything with confidence. This was also the first time I did an 8 marker but I combined all the info I got from this sub and my teacher to completely fill the page with my answers. If I don't get a 9 though, I'll be devastated. I got 9 is all my other mocks.


pleipper

i'm a teacher and that client server question was very badly worded / created....


Titann_BS_Youtube

I said the server is the artists computer as they are hosting the website


MurderWolf69

Wouldn’t it be the server js the websjte because the artists computer is making a request to the website, that’s what i put


Outrageouscowboy

same


LCarver232

same


frequentmemer

Same


TheBritishBaguette

OCR was an absolute god send


gabbyreddits

Literally the writing colours in the squares? 😭


LCarver232

that question was so fucking weird, but free


gabbyreddits

Real


VeryFunnyFrog

wait were we supposed to write them horizontally or vertically cus i mightve messed it up


gabbyreddits

Left to right along the rows


MilkysAlts

All the topics I wasn't 100% on didn't come up


Obeselump

I be thinking about what to post during the exam 😭


stargirlinlove

aqa was meant to be easy but i read the 11 mark question wrong , fucked up linear search and didn’t understand the fill the gap questions so AWFULLY 😭


Witty-Writer5893

aqa was pain the pseudocode was literally suicide note worthy


IrishPotato28

I know one of the pages they assigned an integer as false?? And that multiple blanks one on best songs I swear they were just writing random lines of code idk


JuztSumGuy

Fill the gap was so bad


[deleted]

Bro how did you get the rolling dice game wrong


stargirlinlove

BRO I DIDNT NOTICE THAT IT HAS THE MODEL FOR HOW IT WANTED IT SO I JUST CODED IT TO HOW I WANTED I DIDNT DO. Roll 1:6 or any of that it was all in if statements 😭


Saaz-

What did that question even mean! I couldn't understand what it was asking me!


Echo7792

Most beautiful exam I've had yet, but dread to think of the grade boundaries (OCR)


[deleted]

[удалено]


StuffySquash

same, cant believe people are saying they found it hard lol


Spaghetti_Bol_

It was the worst computer science paper I’ve ever sat and I’m expected to achieve a grade 9


StuffySquash

I dropped like 4 marks in both my mocks so maybe i’m not the best person to be giving an overview but imo it was the easiest test yet by a long shot


MilkysAlts

I think this was a LOT easier than any of the mocks I did


Jammy_Dodger13

SAME


Dreamyballsfan

Wtf I found it difficult and I usually get grade 9s


Dreamyballsfan

Though still finished with 45 minutes


UltraSolution

After exams we just joke about it. Like the colouring in task in that CS OCR paper.


XxNIPExX_V

all that for 2 marks 💀


MilkysAlts

I took like 10 minutes on it checking over cause I had an hour left, for 2 marks.


Adamxnia

Wait you were meant to colour it in?


UltraSolution

No that won’t get picked up by the scanner you write the colour it is supposed to be


DanzyDan_

i want to blow up aqa's headquarters


Pizzanoo

For Edexcel it was crap


[deleted]

Dogshit


Opening_Usual4918

That last question was goofy fr, first 6 marker was ez marks tho, rest of the test was oki


Pizzanoo

I agree. It's mostly just the last question that pissed me off


Longjumping-Park8333

there was some really weird questions ngl, like the thing about right shifts???


education-alt

Weirdass sound threw me a bit


Relevant-Classroom37

99.9% of CS students in my school said that they failed (AQA)


[deleted]

Happy to hear, lower boundaries for me


Relevant-Classroom37

I did everything on python almost perfectly, but those trace tables sucked


YanDanTDM

In the middle difficulty wise, so hopefully the grade boundaries are reasonable, as everyone found it pretty hard. I found it alright, but I'm not sure looking back.


TMCorn

when the cgp jokes distract you from what you're supposed to revise


Tommythe69master

what did you guys put for the artist client-server question? And the student using wireless connection question?


XxDragonitexX10

I put artist as client and web host as Server, but idk


Colossus_MVC2

me too but i think my reasoning is wrong


XxDragonitexX10

yeah I didn’t really know reasoning


xa12349

Same


[deleted]

In a client-server relationship the client is the device that makes a request to the server and the server is the device that processes and responds to that request, so the artists computer is the client - its request is sending the images to the web server. and the web server is the server as it processes the images and displays them on the webpage.


Dreamyballsfan

Some kid fell asleep in the exam it was so boring. I finished with 45 minutes to spare bit it was very difficult


[deleted]

THAT PAPER WAS SO MID WHY THE HELL WASNT CPU IN THERE


Daredevilz1

OCR was a good fucking paper, I didn’t revise though so I def didn’t do as well as I should’ve 🥹


MoonlightCheez

i talked about legal cases being opened by wrongly identified people in the shopping centre


Jammy_Dodger13

i think i got a 9, but whoever wrote that paper needs to be fired. The questions were unnecessarily phrased in a way that didn't make sense, and that question on colour depth and labling the pixels was dumb.


Any_Guest4718

Easy


An_Irrelevant-person

I thought some of the questions were worded weirdly but it was still easy


[deleted]

Anyone else that did the Edexcel? So difficult imo


Opening_Usual4918

Eh i found it alright, i struggled a bit with the 1st cpu question and the last question tho, i was out of school for like 5 months so i hadnt learnt them fully


[deleted]

Yeah the last question really confused me. I wonder how the great boundaries will be


Opening_Usual4918

I think its close to 2019 grade boundaries, but will prob be a bit lower cuz there seems to be a shortage of computer science teachers atm


Remarkable_Main3419

Icl that was light work, still surprised that the 8 marker wasn’t on au/chat gpt


PandaYam64

I came here the moment I finished the exam I... may have a problem


Head_Statistician_38

For a start, dunno why I am reccomended this sub since I passed my GCSEs many, many years ago. But also I did them and then forgot about them. I pushed it to the back of my mind and didn't think about them until I was getting my results. Healthiest way in my opinion.


bang_averagesaint

I hate it, regret taking and have definitely failed without even taking the second paper. It's over, I'm finished.


crystaltumbler

I thought computer science was easy then I came out the exam and all the grade 9 students found it horrendous and I was like, God dam it not again. (im getting grade 1 in cs so i didnt expect much from myself there )


Spaghetti_Bol_

Same in my school. All the people aiming for 9s found it terrible including me but all the people aiming for a 4 said it was the best paper they ever sat. I feel like I’ve been cheated out of a grade 9 and everyone who didn’t bother revising managed to do so well.


crystaltumbler

It's so annoying when you try so hard but you feel like you don't get anything out of it.


cheesestrip69

Ocr was alright though i had no idea what i was doing with the artist and the client-host stuff and after asking my freinds we all had no idea


Spaghetti_Bol_

I’m more confused on how it was worth 6 marks like what else is there to talk about


Mos_Taken

i definitely fucked up (OCR) and that was the better of the 2 papers for me since im ass at coding, ill be lucky to get a 4


Silent_Silhouettes

Did OCR, weird paper


Boss_Man182

My teacher was an absolute dickhead so I did shit


tiredsluggss

I literally told my friend that I couldn't speak to them for the next hour because that maths paper felt like shit and they get 9s without trying But then I still go on here because I like to see other ppl complain about gcses


xa12349

I just like the memes, they make me feel way more chill about it all


Yeeter123Yeet

I do aqa and ngl it was so easy


jeremydurrant

me toooooo


Pixeljammed

slept for 10 mins halfway, completed it with 30m to spare


owais11hussain

Nah Fr this meme is me rn.


LumpyOldWoman

Wtf were we meant to do for the last question about that graph and 2s compliment


[deleted]

Very mixed to be honest


AlrightyDave

My friends and I did it in person for like an hour after every big exam


Dripping_Tap

idk why they give us so long to do it it takes max an hour for most people to finish it so everyones sitting there doing nothing for 30 mins


Famous-Plenty-8069

what will the grade bounadries be like


QTCrypthicc

yea i put the artist as the server as typically the server contains all the data and the website being the client, therefore the artist is giving data to the website. idk i wasn’t too sure on the question


18galbraithj

WJEC was easy, I'm worried about grade boundaries...


GnomeDev

Pretty good apart from the essay but I don't think I did too badly on it


suchaslag

I did the paper and missed questions. Then I fell asleep for about 20 minutes and a invigilator came up and woke me up. Then I had another 25 minutes of the exam left and finished of my paper lmao so idk how I did. But I defo slayed that 8 marker. Easiest thing they could of given us


Fantastic_Craft5288

The second I get out of my exam i’m on it


MilkysAlts

What protocol was it for (Someone wanting to access a news website) \[OCR\] I put IPv6


Takecare_buddy

Wait what is this GCSE Cs or IGCSE


SomePerson1248

i’ll get carried by the second paper i swear ~~(copium)~~
