Daily Note

  1. Your final exam is coming up. 
     
  2. Today is Friday and we usually discuss careers in computing; however I'd like to do something a bit different and talk about motivation.
     
  3. We will review oral componenet of your IA

The final exam will be just another point of data. No more important or less important than any other summative exam you've had all year.

Topics on final exam: 

System fundamentals Paper 1 IB Computer science SL and HL
Computer organization Paper 1 IB Computer science SL and HL
Networks Paper 1 IB Computer science SL and HL
Computational thinking & problem-solving Paper 1 IB Computer science SL and HL, Introduction to Programming, Advanced Programming
Abstract data structures Paper 1 IB Computer science HL, Advanced Programming
Resource management Paper 1 IB Computer science HL
Control Paper 1 IB Computer science HL

 

A little less comfortable

As you revise (study) you should have a clear plan. Look at each and every standard and test yourself. Work with friends to challenge each other. Start revising early, don't wait until the last minute.
