The following are the major sections in EmSAT Computer Science (C++) that candidates must learn to get the best scores.
Section 1: Computing systems
The section includes what makes a computer: input and output devices, memory, and processing units (CPU). It focuses on how inputs insert information into the computer and how the output provides the desired result after processing all the information using the central processing unit that all computers have in common.
Section 2: Computer networks
The section includes the characteristics and properties of different types of networks. It focuses on how different network types and hosts within a network are arranged relative to each other and the different transmission modes that the network hosts use for these arrangements.
Section 3: Computational thinking
The section includes the computational thinking techniques that help us understand problems and how they can be resolved, and then use the computer (programming) to solve them more efficiently.
Section 4: Programming and Problem-solving
The section includes the essentials and basics of programming skills, including breaking down code into interrelated modules, controlling the execution of programs using different types of control structure statements, usage of built-in functions, and the appropriate selection of complex or simple data structures.
Section 5: Impact of computing
The section includes the impacts of computing concepts that students need to know before they move on to higher education. This includes how technology has changed different aspects of our lives in different contexts, such as health, education, environment, culture, social life, and workplaces.
