I am an experienced A Levels Maths teacher who is new to teaching A Levels Computer Science due to school demand. Thank you for explaining everything so clearly! Appreciate your efforts!
Please do more papers from 9618 and from 9608 as well. There aren’t many channels that solve past papers of computer you channel can be great help for us
haguin sir thank you. last week was my p1 and it went too well because of your p1 list.i am now starting this because i have an exam in 2 days. i hope this goes well too
Hello there, I'm glad that you are enjoying the past year walkthrough! There are 2 main scenarios: Scenario 1: if you intend to use it in the loop or the subsequent step, you will need to assign a default value to the variable. For example, counter or index will be increased inside the loop, so you have to "tell' the loop that we will start from value 0 or value 1 and then keep increasing from there, or else your statement e.g. Index
@@haguinschool OMG This really does help! Thank you soooo much for such a detailed answer and i love the example you gave me in the first scenario!! I am a bit late now to start your courses but I am defintelly planning to check out your course of the summer break to prepare for my next comp sci exams. These videos are genuinly A m a z i n g and i love the effort you are puttting into them :). Adios!
You are welcome Hassan! Noted on your suggestion, my current focus will be helping students to conquer AS Level topics but will definitely spend time to look at paper 4 9618 papers in the near future.
You can just think of it this way Let's say you have a dice with just 3 faces, let's called it face A, face B and face C. At the same time, you set a rule saying that if it's face A -> it will generate A-Z if it's face B -> it will generate A-Z if it's face C -> it will generate 0-9 So when you throw the dice this way, the likelihood of getting A-Z is twice of the likelihood of getting 0-9 since when you get either face A/face B -> you will get A-Z and when you get face C -> you will get 0-9. Hope this helps!
Hi, do you need to know any programming languages for AS level? I know that you need to know pseudocode, but I'm not entirely too sure for AS level whether you need to know one. I saw that you need to know one for A level though.
Hey Timothy, you do not need to know any programming language for paper 1 or paper 2 in AS level. If you are planning to take A2, you will need to know either Python, Java or VB.NET. Nevertheless, if you have some programming background, paper 2 will be more doable but it’s entirely optional. Paper 2 is training you on how to solve problems using pseudocode.
OK, I checked the syllabus and it said only pseudocode, but some people were telling me that you did need to learn one for AS. Thank you for the clarification
Hey there, for Paper 4, you can only choose Python, Java or Visual Basic. Knowing JavaScript would definitely help with your understanding. Check with your school or exam centre on which programming language they’re using. Good luck!
Hey Hassan, you have a good point! Basically you have to look at the variable name for this use case which is MyDOB which most probably stands for My Date of Birth and they are using this variable to calculate number of days till my next birthday, for example you will use current date - MyDOB to get the number of days. Hope that clears your doubts!
Thank you for this video, Sir. Can we write the pseudocode questions in pencil? In the exam instructions, it says we're supposed to use pencils for diagrams only. However, it gets very messy if I use the incorrect indentation or forget to declare a variable, as I need to cross out previous lines.
You are most welcome Jahangir! I don’t think you can write your answer in pencil in the actual exam. You are right, some of my students also have similar issues. What I would suggest is normally towards the end of the exam paper, they have a few blank pages, you can use them as your “draft or working pages” first, and then once you are happy with your answer, you can write the final answer in the question itself, of course this will take more time as you have to write the answer twice as time is tight for this paper as well. The other trick is just scribble on the provided insert also, then just copy the final answer from the insert to the exam paper. If you want to write the actual answer right away, you may leave extra blank lines in between the statements to handle case whereby you forget to include certain declaration or instructions since in general they don’t penalise you for having an extra blank lines in between statements but that would not solve your indentation issue. Hope these ideas help!

how did it go
@@yonatangebeyehu1368 it actually went Ok. I got a C cause i didnt study much. But these videos worked a bit
Thank you, you're helping many students around the word
Hello Serginyaegg, you are most welcome! Feel free to share the video or channel to your friends who might benefit from this!
thanks haguin school 💯

You're most welcome, good luck for your exam!
May Allah help us for the psuedo code
You’re really helping out, i hope you post more videos on problem solving
Appreciate your kind words and I’m glad that it helps!
In Question 6 can we do
If ThisInt = 107 Then
Repeat
ThisInt = ThisInt + 10
Count = Count + 1
Until This Int = 197
EndIf

Hi! Quick question, when do we know we have to intialise a variable? For example
Counter

It would be helpful if you solve paper 4 9618 there arent many past papers
Thank you for your suggestion Aya! My current focus will be AS level topics but will definitely spend some time to look into it in the near future.
thankyou sir would mean a lot if you solve the 7 paper 4 9618 past papers in python

Glad to know that you’re learning well!
what i did not get the last question 8e
You can just think of it this way
Let's say you have a dice with just 3 faces, let's called it face A, face B and face C.
At the same time, you set a rule saying that
if it's face A -> it will generate A-Z
if it's face B -> it will generate A-Z
if it's face C -> it will generate 0-9
So when you throw the dice this way, the likelihood of getting A-Z is twice of the likelihood of getting 0-9 since when you get either face A/face B -> you will get A-Z and when you get face C -> you will get 0-9.
Hope this helps!
