OCR GCSE Computing - Practice Programming Assessment (Model Solution)

As with previous specifications, the OCR GCSE Computing course has a Controlled Assessment component. Under the new 9-1 specification the conditions are far tougher on the students and therefore you may wish to do a mock-Controlled Assessment prior to real one.

In preparation for the real controlled assessment materials being released in September 2017, OCR have released three exemplar question papers.

This a model “grade 9” solution to that task coded in Python, designed to help students (and staff!) understand how to go about completing the project, separating their solution into:
- Analysis
- Design
- Iterative Development (with Intermediate Testing)
- Formal Testing
- Evaluation

I do not claim this is a perfect solution and there are certainly places where my interpretation of the question paper (and therefore my solution) may differ to someone else’s.

I hope you find it useful!
