Optimize Your Child’s Study Routine for O Level Computing Success

Parents of students preparing for the O Level Computing (known as G3 Computing from 2027) exam know that effective study strategies are essential for academic success. At Computhink@ToaPayohLibrary, we are dedicated to helping your child achieve their best results through our specialized tuition classes and comprehensive resources.

Here’s how you can optimize your child’s study routine for O Level Computing:

Understanding the Exam Structure

In 2024, the O Level Computing exam consists of two papers:

1. Paper 1: A 2-hour written exam that accounts for 70% of the final grade. It includes theory-based questions such as short answers, matching questions, structured questions, and cloze passages.

    

2. Paper 2: A 2-hour 30-minute lab-based exam, which constitutes 30% of the final grade. It is divided into four tasks:
   • Task 1: Scenario-based Excel tasks requiring formulas like IF, AND, OR, and VLOOKUP (10 marks).
   • Task 2: Program refinement (10 marks).
   • Task 3: Program debugging (10 marks).
   • Task 4: Program development (20 marks)

Effective Study Techniques

For Paper 1:

1. To excel, your child must work through past exam papers. At Computhink, we integrate these into our classes to familiarize students with the exam format and types of questions.

    

2. Your child should train to recall and write answers without looking at notes. This technique strengthens memory retention and understanding.

    

3. Divide the syllabus into manageable sections and focus on one section at a time. Consistent, focused study sessions are more effective than cramming.

For Paper 2:

1. Extensive hands-on practice is key to excelling in practical exams. At Computhink, we provide weekly programming practice to build proficiency.

    

2. Understand how to apply Excel formulas in different scenarios. Please encourage your child to practice various scenarios to enhance their problem-solving skills.

    

3. Develop and refine debugging skills through logical thinking and patience. Our tuition classes focus on honing these skills through real-time code guidance and expert support.
