Frequently asked questions
Who are you?
Nobody in particular.
Am I able to sign up a whole school class to use the website?
No sign up required, just use the website as it is. (if you want to record student results, get them to screen print/grab/shot their work/results)
Do I have to pay to use the website?
No.
If I suggest features, can you add them?
Yes, if they are good/useful/make sense and fit with the website. Please email using the “contact us” bit.
Ive spotted an error, should i tell you?
Yes! Please be very specific as to where the error is. No point telling us that we spelt compooter increctly one some page, some place. Please specify exactly where!
Can you remove a link to my website?
Yes. We are not always testing our links to other people’s websites. If the link is no longer valid/good etc, then we will update.
What is the best way to use this website?
Revision, a starter in class, a reference when learning Python.
Will you add content from other exam boards?
Eventually.
Should I click on your (google) adverts?
You can if you want. The website was never about making money but it certainly contains expenses.
Is this for GCSE only?
It started for the GCSE, but expanded to A-Levels too (Look under the KS3/OTHER menu). The content is fairly universal so it applies to the IGCSE too. Have a look at the specification you are learning/delivering and you can then tell which parts of this website might be useful to you.
Is this only for the United Kingdom?
No. The IGCSE looks like it is taught in Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia, United States, Italy and international schools around the world. Our Python part of the website is for anyone of any age who wants a quick and free way to start learning the language.
I’m taking my GCSE in computer science and I’m freaking out because there are bits I don’t get, can you help me?
Hopefully there is enough content on the website to get you a starting point. Download your exam board specification and pick a topic. Not everything is on the website (yet), but there is an even split between Theory and (Python) Programming. Are you happy with Binary, Hex as these are good starting points. If you are not learning Python, then find a website that helps you with the language you are learning.
Should I use ChatGPT or AI to help me?
One way to use AI is as an electric textbook to help you remove the pain of using a search engine to find stuff and then assume the content it finds is both accurate and specific to what you are learning. AI can write code for you and answer questions for you regarding theory topics, but it is probably better to use it to check your own individual memory and understanding of content, rather than learning new content from it.
For example, using the prompts below AI becomes a potentially useful tool:
Ask me 5 multiple choice GCSE questions about binary addition
Ask me 5 multiple choice GCSE questions about binary to hexadecimal conversion
Ask me 5 multiple choice GCSE questions about how computers represent images in binary
Please note, we have no idea how accurate AI will be using the prompts above. AI is made by humans and the AI receives human bias and nonsense via the data it is given. Perhaps a better name for AI is “Biased and Large Dataset Interpretation” or BALDI. Nevertheless, at some point BALDI will make the use of this website pointless. Humanity had its time, hello BALDI.
Thanks to your website, I got a good qualification/job and I am now a tech billionaire. What should I do with all my money?
Stop all BALDIs (or at least put them back in a box until they are not biased)
