This series is for the Cambridge International AS & A Level Computer Science syllabus (9618) for examination from 2021. Developed by an experienced author and examiner team and written for the international learner, this coursebook provides students with a structured and progressive guide to the theoretical and practical skills required by the syllabus. With an emphasis on developing computational skills, this resource helps build students' confidence in using a range of technology and programming languages. Detailed descriptions of concepts are reinforced with exercises, discussion points, and reflection questions with exam-style and past paper questions. Answers are found within the teacher's resource. Review: good - good Review: Good for the most part - Pros: - The reason I chose this over the other coursebook by Hodder Education is because I like that the sections of the book are split according to each of the actual exam papers for this qualification. So the material in Part 1, relates to the material covered in exam one, which makes pre-exam study a bit easier. - Additional context and reading provided at times to further help understanding of some topics Cons: - No answers are provided for any of the exam-style questions or tasks, which for me completely defeats the whole point of having them in the first place. Exam-style questions is how I test whether or not I've understood a topic, and unfortunately, I'm able to do this using this book.

Couple of chapters missing
This book was really helpful for year 1, however, when I come to revise for year 2 the book is printed wrong with some chapters being repeated and some completely missing.
