Exam pattern

Two externally assessed written papers, each 1 hour 45 minutes and 75 marks (50% each). Paper 1 (Computer Systems) covers Topics 1-6; Paper 2 (Algorithms, Programming and Logic) covers Topics 7-10 and includes a 15-mark scenario question. No coursework; grades A* to G. Assessment objectives: AO1 knowledge 40%, AO2 application 40%, AO3 evaluation 20%.

Practical / project

No separate practical exam, but practical programming is integral: students write, run, test and debug their own programs in Python, Visual Basic or Java throughout the course. Paper 2 requires genuine practical programming experience, and the scenario question may be answered in pseudocode or a chosen programming language.

Who it's for

Grade 10 / Year 11 students preparing for the Cambridge IGCSE Computer Science 0478 examination, including those who want strong foundations in both theory and practical programming.

Course FAQs

Are the IGCSE Computer Science classes fully online and live?+

Yes. All classes are conducted live online by Kajal Ma'am over a shared screen, so students can ask questions in real time during the lesson. Kwickprep has taught online since 2006 and supports students across India and abroad.

Do you offer both Group batch and One-to-One coaching for IGCSE CS?+

Yes. We offer two modes — a Group batch and a One-to-One programme — and the fees differ between them. The One-to-One mode gives fully personalised pacing and dedicated attention, while the Group batch is more economical; you can choose whichever suits the student. Contact us for the current fee for each mode.

Which board and syllabus is this course aligned to?+

It is aligned to the official Cambridge IGCSE Computer Science 0478 syllabus for examination in 2026-2028, covering all ten topics across Paper 1 (Computer Systems) and Paper 2 (Algorithms, Programming and Logic).

Which programming language is used, and do you help with the practical/programming questions?+

We teach Python alongside Cambridge pseudocode, the most common choice for 0478. Programming and logic questions are practised live with shared-screen coding and dry runs, so students are prepared for the application-heavy questions in Paper 2.

Will my child get help with past papers and exam technique?+

Yes. The course includes Paper 1 and Paper 2 past-paper and exam-style practice, with answers trained to the Cambridge mark scheme and command words so students learn exactly how marks are awarded.

Can we book a demo class before joining?+

Yes. You can book a demo session to meet Kajal Ma'am, see how a live class works and discuss whether the Group or One-to-One mode fits your child before enrolling.
