Course Description
Please note that provided six practice tests are mock exams, not brain dumps. They are designed to replicate the style, topics, and complexity (or simplicity ;8-) of the real-world PCAP certification exam. The number of questions for each Exam Module is chosen to match the current Python Institute PCAP Exam Guide. The sentence length and structure of questions are adjusted to match examples from the Exam Guide. Drag & drop, gap fill, single-choice, and multiple-choice type questions are all represented.
The multiple-choice questions are written with plausible distractors, using the memory + application method that tests students' knowledge of principles and facts in real-life programming.
The question actions (e.g. 'you are going to', 'what would you use', etc), and conditions ('which command is used', 'does the functions', 'what is the purpose') also follow the PCAP Sample Exam Format. A candidate preparing for the exam will expend about the same time and apply about the same mental effort understanding the question as he would in the real test center/online environment.
