Programming — AS & A Level Information Technology (9626) questions by topic
Programming problems in this syllabus are set in pseudocode: finding whether one number is a factor of another, calculating a parallelogram's area within a stated limit, tracing a flowchart that averages ten numbers, and applying banded tax rules to an income figure.
Find, explain and suggest are the command words that recur, each worth 6 to 8 marks. Eight questions drawn from 2023 and 2024 papers sit on this page. Because every line of pseudocode either produces the correct output or doesn't, working through it line by line and submitting for instant marking catches a misplaced condition or wrong variable before it derails the whole trace.
