2.2.2 Computational methods
Recognise computable tasks and apply decomposition, modelling, heuristics and other problem-solving methods.
What to revise
Practise computational methods.
Start with these questions from the computational methods topic pack. In the workspace, explain each idea from memory, compare your reasoning with the feedback, then revisit the concepts that need practice.
Use the pack alongside your OCR H446 algorithms and programming revision. Your self-reported confidence helps plan the next review; it is not an exam mark or predicted grade.
