What to revise first

Use this as a quick priority order. Start with the themes that show up most often, then work down if you have more time.

Fast jump to your next best topic

Tip: start with Q3 visual if you only have 20-30 minutes.

7 / 7 Every uploaded paper includes a Q3 draw task
Most Security and protection topics come up repeatedly
Often Cloud and remote-working questions return regularly
Q4 The biggest discuss or evaluate question usually lands here
1. Start with market mapping and segmentationThis theme is a strong entry point for Paper 1 application chains.
1.3 Market mapping1.4 Segmentation1.5 Targeting and positioning
Every paper
2. Revise operations productivity metrics nextThese appear often in quantitative and applied operations questions.
6.3 Capacity utilisation6.4 Labour productivity
Most papers
3. Then cover strategic positioning and globalisationThese are common synoptic Paper 3 scenario themes.
9.2 Ansoff matrix9.4 Globalisation
Often
4. After that, revise decision trees and investment appraisalThese score well when method and interpretation are both shown clearly.
3.7 Decision trees3.8 Investment appraisal
Fairly common
5. Finish with leadership and organisational cultureThese are high-value judgement themes in longer responses.
2.3 Leadership2.4 Culture
Sometimes

Bars show how often each theme appeared across the 7 uploaded papers. Higher bar = stronger revision priority. The buttons jump you straight into the closest guide section, quiz aim or filtered question list.

Q3a Locked visual slot

Across the uploaded set, the cleanest recurring pattern is a 6-mark draw task in Question 3(a): either a systems diagram or a flowchart.

Q4 Long-answer finish

The heaviest 10-12 mark discussion or evaluation usually lands in Question 4, often tied to cloud, policy, impact or wider organisational implications.

D / C Most reusable revision

If time is tight, prioritise protection codes in D and online-system codes in C. They recur in both short explain items and long discuss tasks.

Detailed sub-question map

Each cell shows the best-fit AQA topic family for that exam slot. This makes it easier to revise by pattern rather than re-reading full papers one by one.

Question 1 slot map

Question 1 usually opens with short applied knowledge and then moves into security, online working or communication tools.

Jun 2019 C2.1Wiki benefits C2.2Wiki drawbacks - - - -

Question 2 slot map

Question 2 often rotates between software / operating-system knowledge and protection of data in use or in transit.

Question 3 slot map

This is the most stable pattern in the paper set. Q3(a) is the main draw slot, then the follow-up parts often test networks, protocols or related systems knowledge.

Paper a b c d e f
Typical marks / command 2-4identify / state 3-5describe / explain 4-6explain / apply 6-8analyse / discuss 6-10analyse / evaluate 8-12evaluate / justify

Question 4 slot map

Question 4 is where the largest judgement task usually lands, especially around cloud, policy, impact, ethics or organisation-wide change.

Paper a b c d e f
Typical marks / command 2-4identify / state 3-5describe / explain 4-6explain / apply 6-8analyse / discuss 6-10analyse / evaluate 8-12evaluate / justify

Jun 2019 C1.2Cloud cost evaluation F1.1Moral / ethical issues - - - -

Likely next-paper view

The strongest trend call is still a protection-heavy paper with one visual draw task and at least one longer judgement question around online systems, policy or organisational impact.

Chance Likely area Unit code focus Most likely exam form
High Security, access control and secure transmission D1, D2, D2.1, D2.4 2-4 mark explain item plus a later discuss / evaluate task in a scenario
High Diagram or flowchart slot A1.3 Q3(a), 6 marks, labelled process or system map
High Cloud, hosting, remote working or online service impact C1.1, C1.2, C1.3, C2.2 6-12 mark discuss / evaluate question, often near the end of the paper
Medium Operating systems, NOS or software choice A3.1, A3.2, A3.6 4-9 mark explain / evaluate question
Medium Ethical, legal or environmental implications F1.1, F2.1 Longer Q4 discussion or evaluation with organisation + staff impact

The folder does not appear to include a separate 2022 Unit 1 paper, so this tracker is based on the papers currently uploaded and the AAQ specimen at the front of the combined PDF.
