Flashcards for AQA GCSE Computer Science (8525), split into Paper 1 and Paper 2 and then by topic in the specification's order, following the specification for exams from June 2027. Pseudo-code cards use AQA's own style, so the keywords match the ones printed in the exam.

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.
