Two equally-weighted papers - a written theory paper and a three-hour practical where students build graphics, presentations, databases, spreadsheets and documents from provided data files. We tutor 4IT1 to exactly how it's split and marked.
A simple four-step approach designed to build confidence, close gaps and improve exam performance.
We confirm the syllabus code, exam series and paper route for 4IT1. Everything else depends on this.
A diagnostic against the syllabus topics tells us what's secure and what isn't, so we teach the gaps rather than the whole book.
The same tutor teaches each week around school. Concepts build step by step, with the school's pace kept in view.
Past-paper questions begin early, followed by full timed papers marked against the published mark scheme.

They work with common office and graphics applications; the practical is designed around widely-available software and provided data files.
We replace them - free, and with no argument - and hand over the syllabus progress and known concerns so the new tutor continues seamlessly.
ICT (4IT1) is about applying software to produce solutions; Computer Science (4CP0) is about programming and computational thinking. The free assessment helps you choose.
