Description

Computer science is a very large subject with lots of applications. Computer scientists design new software, solve computing problems and develop different ways to use technology. But, whatever they’re doing, all computer scientists rely on computational thinking. What is computational thinking?

Computational thinking involves looking at a problem and working out a way a computer might be able to help you solve it. To do this, you need to understand how a computer processes information. Most students use computational thinking at school too, but don’t realize it.

To expand your understanding about computer science and computational thinking, a quiz which is made up of only 15 questions has been designed just for you. Each question is based on a topic studied at the Advanced level. Some of these topics include “Software, Data structure and algorithm, programming and Boolean operations etc.For more inquiry about other materials, you can visit our website and other related quizzes.
