AS & A Level Information Technology (9626) — real past-paper questions, marked by AI
A Level Information Technology (9626) examines how systems are chosen, used and secured in the real world, across four written and skills-based components. This hub focuses on the written theory questions — security, the impact of IT, and how software and networks are evaluated — the explain and discuss answers that reward precise, applied reasoning over general knowledge.
There are 637 real 9626 questions here, from 43 papers set between 2023 and 2025. Security leads the topic table with 17 questions, ahead of data and information, software and the impact of IT, with multimedia, hardware and networks also well represented. Write your answer and the AI examiner marks it instantly against the real Cambridge mark scheme, showing which point of explanation or evaluation earned the mark and which was missing.
