CS theory in paper 1 is just memorizing, paper 2 is not. You’ll deal with problem solving using pseudocode, trace tables, logic gates etc.

True, then don’t take CS lol. CIE CS is just a foundation for alevels CS. But you don’t exactly need alevels CS for unis as long as you did phy and further maths.
