N7 practice questions

Andrew Belegrinos, teacher at Preshil - The Margaret Lyttle Memorial School in Australia, has created N7, a tool to help teachers create CS tests. There are some great practice questions on all the IB topics and options, as well as the Case Studies. (You have to pay for full access to answers and markschemes, but it’s well worth creating a free account to look at the questions to practice with! Teachers, a paid subscription to the site might well be worth a hit to your budget!)

There are a number of questions for the 2023 Case Study (and Andrew is adding more!)
