You now have a set of book questions, and 4 exam papers.
This work is important, you need to organise how you are going to tackle all this work. It needs to be completed by the time we come back in January.
You must make good use of the resources you have and resources that are available on the Internet, so that you can maximise your knowledge and understanding.
That first week back we will have the mock exam in the hour and a half lesson. This work is preparation for that. You need to make sure you are properly prepared for the exam in January. If you don't then you will have wasted the last 4 months. After January we will be working on the theory exam and your time will be best spent learning and developing your skills for this rather than worrying about resitting the Programming and Logic paper.
