Not just the answer — the thinking behind the answer. The way an examiner reads it.
Learn to identify exactly what each question is asking before writing a word. Command words, marks available, and what the question is really testing.
From one-mark define questions to eight-mark evaluate questions — a clear structure for every type.
Which points earn marks and which do not. How to avoid the most common mark-losing mistakes on every question type.
A practical time strategy for the full paper so no section is rushed or missed.
One hour. Real exam questions. Examiner-level explanation of every mark.
How OCR GCSE CS papers are structured, how marks are distributed, and where most students gain or lose ground.
We work through past-paper questions together — reading, planning, writing, and comparing to the mark scheme.
Evaluate, explain, describe, justify, state — what each one requires and how much to write.
Your learner's specific patterns — questions they rush, topics they avoid, marks they drop — identified and addressed.
Yes — this is specifically designed for students in the weeks before their exam. The closer to the exam, the more targeted each session becomes.
Absolutely. If your learner always loses marks on algorithm questions or struggles with longer evaluate answers, we can dedicate the whole session to that.
Walkthrough sessions assume some content knowledge but can be adapted. We can combine content recap with exam technique in the same session.
