AQA - Comp Sci - A Level - Paper 1
Getting started
You will need to create a new project and select a console app (remember in college you will need to browser for compiled storage).
Test to make sure your console app will run, the only reason it will fail is you haven't browsed for compiled storage.
About Paper 1
You cannot use a calculator for this unit. You could however do the calculations in a small program within your IDE, for example:

2 Console.ReadLine();
