Revision — Computer Architecture (Topics 1 & 2)
What do I know well, and what do I still need to revise?
- Recall the key ideas from Weeks 1–8
- Answer mixed exam-style questions
- Identify personal weak areas before the Week 10 exam
Overview
Revision week is not just re-reading. It is finding out — through active practice — what you can already do and what still needs work. Use this week to move gaps from 'unknown' to 'known'.
Concept map the term
Draw two branches — Topic 1 (Computer Administration) and Topic 2 (Computer Electronics). Add at least 4 sub-nodes to each and link them where they connect (e.g. troubleshooting → components).
Station rotation
Four stations: (A) MCQ recall · (B) 5-step troubleshooting scenario · (C) Component ID from photos · (D) Clock-speed maths. Score each station and note what you got wrong.
Personal revision plan
List the top 3 weak areas and write one action per area — for example: 're-read Week 6 install checklist and do it again on Saturday'.
