We'd love to talk about how we can help you.
How does the Cambridge GCSE Computer Science course work?
Our online GCSE platform hosts a dedicated Cambridge IGCSE Computer Science course, covering both the Cambridge IGCSE Computer Science (0478) and Cambridge IGCSE (9-1) Computer Science (0984) syllabuses, helping you build strong computational thinking, programming and problem-solving skills.
Every part of the course is mapped directly to the official Cambridge subject content, so nothing you study falls outside what you'll actually be tested on, whichever syllabus you're following.
You'll move through clearly organised topic areas covering computer systems, algorithms, data representation and programming, working from core concepts through to full exam-style practice, with plenty of opportunities to check your understanding along the way.

3Get to know your syllabus
Once you're registered, you'll get a clear layout of how the course covers computer systems, algorithms and programming, and data representation, and how these topics connect across different topics.
Rather than diving in blind, you'll see how the theory and practical programming skills build on each other, and where the problem-solving cycle of designing, writing, testing and refining a solution runs through several of the topics.
Having that overview from the start makes it easier to plan your study and pace yourself sensibly as you work through the syllabus.
4Work through your topic areas
Your course is broken down into clearly organised topic areas covering everything from computer systems and hardware to data representation, algorithms and programming, following the order set out by the exam board. Each topic combines revision notes, practice questions and a topic test, so you build understanding step by step rather than jumping straight into exam-style questions.
Clear Revision Notes
Straightforward explanations of computer science concepts, algorithms and programming techniques, and how to apply them to exam-style problems.
Practice Questions
Short questions to check your understanding of each concept before you move on to the next topic.
Topic Tests
Longer, exam-style tests for each topic, giving you a realistic sense of how questions will be asked.
Full Written Solutions
Step-by-step solutions for every question, showing you exactly how the correct method or algorithm is applied.
5Sit exam-board-specific mock exams
Practise under timed conditions with mock exams built around your Cambridge syllabus, complete with automatically marked questions that mirror real exam conditions.
Marked by Dr Clive, Instantly
Dr Clive marks selected questions the moment you submit them, pairing your score with a written solution that breaks down the correct method or algorithm step by step. It's a quick way to catch and fix recurring mistakes.
Marking delivered as soon as you answer
Worked solutions for every method or algorithm
Feedback focused on improving technique
6Track your progress
Every score you achieve is logged automatically, so your dashboard always reflects where things stand. You'll see your overall progress, how each topic is coming along, and your running averages across practice questions and topic tests.
Signs you're ready for your exam
Before booking your exam, it's worth checking that you:
Have been through every topic area in the course
Average above 60% across practice questions and topic tests
Score consistently above 60% on your mock exams
