Hi there :)

Pseudocode is probably the toughest aspect of any assignment. After all, it IS the algorithm that you will be implementing to solve a specific problem. So naturally it is a bit of a challenge. When trying to write any algorithm, try to think how to solve one step of the problem at a time. Eat the dragon in small bits. Example lines in pseudocode include programming constructs (if/loops/assignment), or a procedure call.

Mark Kelly (creator of VCEIT.com) has a quick overview here: http://vceit.com/p/design-pseudocode.htm

In addition, please check out my attachments on this page as they contain some sample pseudocode: Data Dictionary & Desk Checking Guides

You asked how to study these so I have dug up some resources (questions and solutions from past exams, thanks to Mark Kelly):

Hopefully these references provide you with the knowledge to tackle your SACs / case studies. Remember, always break the large problem into smaller problems.

Learn python. Besides some syntactic features, it is very close to resembling pseudocode.

Look mate, the best solution is probably to find the best student in the class, the 'top of the class' if you will, and ask for their help.

Why not ask the best students in the state on AN?
