Pupils who choose to study an AS/A-Level in Computing will also complete two units in their first year of study. The first unit is assessed through a written examination (40% of the total AS marks), and covers fundamentals of computing such as Hardware and the structure and organisation of data. The second unit is assessed through an extended project in which pupils design, code and finally test an extensive program that must solve a specific problem. Two further units are studied by pupils who stay on to study Computing in year 13. As with year 12, the first unit is assessed through a written examination (40% of the total A2 marks), and looks at some of the computing topics previously covered in year 12 in much more depth. The second unit is also similar to year 12, but again their programming project is expected to be much more in depth and complex than the one they created for year 12.
