All Official OCR A Level Computer Science Delivery Guides

As Salamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh World!

These delivery guides are available on OCR's website but not a lot of people use them since they're meant for teachers. Personally, I find some of the delivery guides quite informative and each one has links to some very good resources/websites.

Now I'm not saying they're a great resource but when the amount of resources you have is scarce, then even looking through these can be worthwhile. Maybe because I'm self teaching I find these useful but I would highly recommend that you look through these as they have some good content.

Generally speaking you should always take advantage of any resource you find (especially the free ones), even though they may not have exactly what you're looking for. Anyway, on the OCR website these delivery guides aren't listed in the specification order so I thought that's the least I could do in this post. Here's all 19 links in order:



  1. 1.1.1 Structure And Function Of The Processor
  2. 1.1.2 Types Of Processor
  3. 1.1.3 Input, Output And Storage
  4. 1.2.1 Systems Software
  5. The Function And Purpose Of Operating Systems
  6. 1.2.2 Applications Generation
  7. 1.2.3 Software Development
  8. 1.2.4 Types Of Programming Language
  9. 1.3.1 Compression, Encryption And Hashing
  10. 1.3.3 Networks
  11. 1.3.4 Web Technologies
  12. 1.4.1 Data Types
  13. 1.4.2 Data Structures
  14. 1.4.3 Boolean Algebra
  15. 2.1.1 Thinking Abstractly
  16. 2.1.2 Thinking Ahead
  17. 2.1.5 Thinking Concurrently
  18. 2.2.1 Programming Techniques
  19. 2.2.2 Computational Thinking

For some reason, a few topics from the spec are missing as you can tell from the numbering but the ones available are still worth a look.

Hope this helps!
