- Explain the basic operation and components of AI systems to simulate intelligent behaviour See section 4 for the: • standard flowchart symbols that must be used by students when drawing flowcharts • logic gate symbols that must be used by students when drawing logic circuits • format in which pseudocode will appear in examinations. In Paper 2, candidates are expected to write solutions to given problems using the methods and concepts listed in topics 7 to 10. Where the solution to a problem involves coding, candidates are required to write solutions in pseudocode. Solutions written in programming code will not be awarded marks. The exception is the 15-mark scenario question.
