PSEUDOCODES REVISION Notes

 

 

PSEUDOCODE REVISION NOTES
"The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is Practice"

 

In these revision notes, please have some time to practice on PSEUDOCODES and apply it to PAST PAPERS.

Understand the past paper problem requirements, visualise it through diagrams and notes , and thoruoughly understand the mark scheme, then try yourself by writing down the pseudocode of the problem without looking at any notes but the problem question only. Compare your written pseudocode with the markscheme and adjust any corrections as necessary. Look at the RUBRICS that Cambridge will apply in checking the exam paper and render your expected marks. Repeat the process by scouring other Cambridge IGCSE 0478 Past Paper problems.
