Evidence Guide
Internal Assessment 30%
Examination 70%
Students must pass the written paper.
Where a pass is achieved in the written paper, the
overall mark is the sum of the two components,
weighted as shown above.
Otherwise, the overall mark is determined by 100%
weighting for the written paper.
Internal Assessment
Assignments and/or tests requiring design, testing
and coding as follows:
- Terminal input and output only
10%
- Use of one or more text files
10%
- Interactive menu-driven application, using at least three
procedures. 10%
Examination (Duration: two hours)
Two short-answer questions requiring algorithms (N-S
or pseudocode), chosen from the following topics:
- Loops
- Decisions
- Comparisons
- Maxima
- Minima
- Averages
- Totals
30%
Produce Pascal code from a given N-S or psuedocode
design 15%
Using a trace table to determine the correctness
and/or output of a given algorithm.
The following two questions may examine the topics:
- Data Validation
- Sequential File Processing
- Arrays
- Searching
- Sorting
- Program Modularisation.
Design an algorithm which uses standard input and
output. 15%
Design an algorithm which uses text files for either
input or output, or both. 25%
