Ocr a level (h446/03) programming project exemplars.
A zip file with three exemplar projects with marks between 61/70 and 68/70.
We know what makes a successful project and we know what advice to give our own students so they are best equipped to get the top marks. We always receive positive feedback from moderators and our marking has never been adjusted.
"The marks were considered to be in line with the national standard. Full credit to the centre for a professional performance with the first attempt at a new specification." (Craig's moderator feedback)
"The centre have appreciated the requirements and are able to apply them realistically" (Dave's moderator feedback)
We hope these comments give you confidence in the support we offer.

27. Physics Projectile Modelling Tool. If you are a fan of mechanics, this is your project. One of the many reasons this project is so good is because when programming it, you are forced to simulate a real world environment - in the sense that you program in gravity, terrain, air resistance etc.
A tuple is an ordered set of values of any type. It is immutable, this means that it can't be changed. Elements, therefore, can't be added or removed once it has been created. Tuples are initialised using regular brackets instead of square brackets.
OCR's A Level in Computer Science will value computational thinking, helping learners to develop the skills to solve problems, design systems and understand the power and limits of human and machine intelligence. Learners will develop an ability to analyse, critically evaluate and make decisions.
Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find a coursework example (preferably the whole thing) for the new OCR A-Level Computer Science Spec that achieved full marks or very near full marks? I can find loads of examples of coursework from the old spec (H447) but none for the new spec but I'm looking for something that closely follows the new specification as I know they differ quite a ...
Features of Computation. It's important to consider if problems can be solved using algorithms and programming code. For example: Sorting a list of numbers is feasible using algorithms like quick sort or merge sort. But ethical problems or social problems, like determining if a loan should be approved, may incorporate some human input that ...
The new H046/H446 spec is basically the opposite, it favours complexity and coding over the volume of paperwork in the report. It even removed the need to produce a user guide, a positive if you're someone like me who hates coursework.
Students must take both components to be awarded the OCR AS Level in Computer Science. A written paper assessing the majority of the content of the specification. Calculators not allowed. A written paper assessing the application of the knowledge and understanding developed in component 01. Calculators not allowed.

Programming paradigms offer varied methodologies for software construction. Different paradigms are suited to different tasks, e.g. simple web applications can be achieved with light-weight ...
Figure 2: Performing the A* Search. The algorithm for A* search is shown below, both in structured english and a pseudocode format. A* Search (Structured English) assign g(x) to 0 and f(x) to h(x) for the initial node and g(x) and f(x) to infinity for every other node. add all nodes to a priority queue, sorted by f(x)
Here is a recursive algorithm for a simple countdown program written in Python to countdown from 10 to 0. Step 1. Create the subroutine (in this example it will be a function as it will return a value) and identify any parameters. def countdown_rec(n): #n is the parameter passed when we call the subroutine. Step 2.
As loops are O (n) and single statements are O (1), the overall Big-O notation is O (n), linear time, as the loop dominates constant time. function sumNumbers2(n) sum = n * (n+1)/2. return sum. endfunction. In the example above for sumNumbers2, a single statement is present with no loops.
