OCR GCSE (J277) Exam reference language cheat sheet

All examination questions are written using a standard for pseudocode called, “the reference language” to ensure clarity and consistency between examination questions.

Although students can write their answers in Python-like syntax, it is helpful for them to become familiar with this standardised version of pseudocode. This also ensures they are familiar with the syntax of commands used in exams where this is different from a high-level language syntax they may have been using in class.
