Updated tests for Entry Level Computer Science R354
01 September 2026
This update was first published on 24 September 2025. As we have now removed the old tests from Teach Cambridge, please make sure you're using the new tests with students – see below.
Our Entry Level Computer Science qualification is assessed using a combination of short tests and a programming project.
Following a review, we have amended the short tests with more up-to-date references. The tests also now reflect our accessibility principles.
These new tests are available for you to use with your students now. You can download them from the Assessment > Exams > Controlled materials section on Teach Cambridge.
The old tests are no longer available on Teach Cambridge. For the June 2027 series onwards, we will only accept marks submitted for the new tests.
Marks for the June 2027 series must be submitted by 15 May 2027.
If you have any queries about this update, please call our Customer Support Centre on 01223 553998 or email us at support@ocr.org.uk.
