Here I am a couple days before my exam with this being my first step to revision

[ninjaturtle]

Your videos are very helpful. Especially this one since there aren't many videos about A level CS out there. Thank you.
I've also noticed that you're very nice in your comments unlike other youtubers. Don't change please🙏

[Ayushr]

Wow, congratulations for your amazing results for these hard A level subjects! Thank you for the tips! I have my exams in 3 weeks.

[mikaazai]

I've never studied cs and idk whether I'd be good at it in a levels but I love computers and wanna learn how to code idk if I should do it

[shamalam]

Your entire A-level series has been really helpful, I wish you the best for your channel !. May I ask, how many hours were u working to get these grades?

[yuhhpdrizzle]

thanks you sm for this! Like I’m trying to be a woman in STEM so hopefully this helps out a lot🙏🏾😭

[ndiiinawe]

PLEASE do a video about how you did so well in your epq, i start mine after christmas and im so nervous about it. all your videos are so helpful btw!!!!

[zoooweemamas]

hi this was such a good video, congratulations on your hard work! i was wondering if you had any tips on how to consistently score highly in the long answer questions, in terms of structure is there one you stuck to? tysmm

[HH-xesf]

What score should you be aiming for out of 70 on the coursework in order to get an A? (OCR)

[jellybellysubs]

im in year 12 - what do you recommend i do for my NEA and what can i do to start prepping now and also what advice would you give in general to me to help with theory/coding as the things we need to know for the coding element are quite specific to OCR board :D

[anrikogawa]

Hi! Thank you for amazing video!
I wonder what textbooks did you use for as computer science:)

[Toe-vqql]

Did you take computer science at GCSE? Because I haven't as at my school you can take computer science at A-level if you get a grade 6 in maths, so do you think I could take it even thought I don't really know it?

when you're trying to not revise ocr reference language but your teacher's forcing you to learn java 💀😭

[wdwiheu]

Hello, thanks so much for the video!! :)
I struggle a lot in the long questions (9-12 markers) since i am not a native speaker, do you have any practice questions on those so that i can practice more? I have done all the past paper questions but i still dont feel ready ://

[aminuh]

hello :)) i hope lifes okay for you after the community post regarding this video - otherwise thanks for the video :)!! i didn't do cs at gcse and there aren't really any girls in my class i can ask help from - so this is helpful.

hey can you give me some tips for paper 2 of computer science, I have about a month left for it and its just so difficult for me, mostly the coding parts for A-s paper 2 😭😭😭

[thrictical]

Your videos are actually amazing, but can u give me tips about CIE CS AS?

[fahadawan]

Im about start my computer science a level study, is it essential to study just c sharp code or python cos I am unsure on what programming languages i need to learn for OCR

[David-omvh]

Watching this on the bus to my computers science exam…

[dreamz_aka]

i acc find studying/revising CS so boring and painful 😭😭.
