Flashcards for CCEA GCSE Digital Technology, covering Unit 1, the compulsory core studied by every student, split into topics in the specification's order, then a separate subdeck for each pathway's examined unit: Multimedia (Unit 2) and Programming (Unit 4). Delete or suspend whichever pathway subdeck does not match your course. Units 3 and 5, marked as controlled assessment coursework rather than a written exam, are not covered.

Adding it gives you your own copy, with every subdeck below. Each card then comes back just before you would forget it, and every one you get right or wrong counts towards your mastery of its topic. You can delete or suspend the parts you are not studying once it is yours.
