OCR GCSE Computer Science Complete Revision and Practice (Oxford Revise: Computer Science) Paperback – 7 Sept. 2023

My students and I like the approach to revise that this book offers. It has a different approach to others and supports many different students. I highly recommend this book to students or parents buying for their children.

Great topic overview. Double page for each and helps my daughter with her gcse revision. Covers the whole course well.

This book is a comprehensive resource for computer science students, covering 35 areas of the subject. Each area is divided into three sections: knowledge, retrieval, and practice. The book is well-organized, with colored sections that make it easy to navigate and work through.In the knowledge section, you'll find essential information about each topic. The retrieval section helps reinforce your learning by providing questions to test your understanding. While the practice section only includes three questions, the book provides a QR code that allows you to access a previous exam paper for additional practice.One notable feature of this book is the questions and answers section at the end of each chapter. It ensures that you're retaining the information from the previous chapter, helping you reinforce your knowledge.Would be good to see more embedding of knowledge skills and behaviours of these roles at this stage.Overall, this book is a valuable resource for computer science students looking to review and test their knowledge in various areas of the subject.

Good text book to help revision for my son's GCSE exams

Lots of exam practice

The media could not be loaded. This is a video review - far better for me to show you what I'm talking about as I explain rather than just write about it without giving you appropriate context.The book itself is really well designed and takes the pupil through the three stages of knowledge (using knowledge organisers), retrieval and finally exam-style practice. Each chapter builds on the chapter before and gives the pupil just a little reminder through past questions to keep their knowledge ticking over.Very much a little-and-often book. Don't wait until a week before the exam to buy this, you won't get the full benefit. Ten minutes or so on each chapter frequently throughout the GCSE course (usually Years 10 and 11) is the way to approach this and this book does an excellent job of compartmentalising that for you.

The media could not be loaded. Oxford books have always been one of my go to for revision books.This one is just as good as others I have used. It is easy to understand and split into bite size (no pun intended!) sections to help with revision / practice / exam tips.It is a pleasure to read as it is printed in pastel coloured sections.This one is for the OCR exam board and the Computer Science GCSE.Recommended.

This covers many high level topics. Doesn't go into detail, but that's not the aim. This is meant to coverany bases, while being just informative enough to ensure the important aspects are covered.
