This page is up to date for the AQA 8525 syllabus for exams from 2022.
Data Representation – Binary Bits and Bytes
You need to know about how binary digits form Bytes, kiloBytes, MegaBytes and so on. And nibbles.
Binary Numbers – bits and bytes – lots of important terminology here
Converting between Units of Information
By Units of Information, I mean kiloBytes, MegaBytes, GigaBytes, TerraBytes and so on.
You need to be able to convert between these – so change 8 GB into kiloBytes or 48,000 bits in MegaBytes. The maths of this isn't too hard, but it's tricky to get your head around exactly how to do this.
Converting between Units of Information – how to convert
Units of Information worked examples – examples showing (I hope) how to convert from larger to smaller and smaller to larger units
