This wiki is intended to be a one stop shop for AQA A Level Computer Science. Use the navigation on the left to access specific papers or topics. Also, the search bar above is a very effective way of finding topics or individual pages. The current phase of development is to add revision quizzes for every topic, no data is collected from the quizzes so they are just for revision purposes.

Wiki Rules

Not so nice bit

  3. You will work in groups to edit this in lessons, you are free to use and edit this out of lesson time

The Aims

  1. To be a complete one stop shop for your Computer Science exams
  2. To act as a revision tool
  3. To provide instructions for potential questions
  4. To share knowledge
  5. To support all students
  6. To allow everyone to contribute

Information

Security / Backup
