*** PCAP - Associate Level Practice Tests course released ***

*** NEW Course released: Python Certification Question Bank course *** 

*** Now with some source code available on GitHub (madhusudhankonda/pcep-tests) ***

Hello and thank you for choosing this course!

If you are wishing to become Python Certified (PCEP), this course will surely help you!  If you are learning Python and wish to cement your understanding, the practice tests will be a good help. If you are looking forward to making programs with Python, these tests will help you a lot.

What is PCEP Certification?

PCEP Python Entry Level Programmer certification is your first step into the world of Python. Python is the world's top most popular programming language, used extensively in Artificial Intelligence and Data Sciences as well as in general-purpose computing area. Getting professional accreditation in Python is surely a feather in your programmer's hat and a strong step in your professional career.

What does this course offer you?

• This course consists of 6 practice tests similar to what you see in a real certification exam.

• Each of the tests consists of 30 questions, timed at 45 minutes

• The questions are multiple-choice and multiple-select

• Each question is carefully curated to fit the PCEP's certification goal

• Every question is associated with a knowledge area

• The answers are randomized every time you take a test

• The test covers all the modules as per the PCEP syllabus

• Once the test was taken, you will get an instant result report with categories of strength to weakness.

• You can re-take the tests over and over again as and when it suits you.

What do the Tests consist of?

1. Basic Concepts (5 Questions): Basics and fundamentals, print() and input() functions, numeric and string operators (% /  *  +  - ** // etc), literals, assignment and shortcut operators, keywords, syntax and language elements

2. Data Types and I/O Operations (6 Questions): Operators (bitwise, boolean, unary, binary, relational),  typecasting, i/o operations, working with strings, boolean expressions, and others

3. Flow Control (6 Questions): Conditional statements (if, if-else, if-elif-else), loops (for, while), nested loops, loop controls (break, continue) and more

4. Data Collections (7 Questions): Collections(lists, tuples, dictionaries), basic methods(insert, append, sorted, del, index ), iterating over collections, working with lists, dictionaries and tuples, and more.

5. Functions (6 Questions): Defining functions, parameters (positional, multi-argument and keyword), return from a function, default function parameters, scopes and global, recursive functions and others

I have made every attempt to create the questions as close as possible.

What are the next steps?

The PCEP is the entry-level certification followed by PCAP - Certified Associate in Python Programming certification. You can become a Python Certified Associate by using the material in this course, however, it doesn't cover the full syllabus. I will be offering a course specifically PCAP shortly.

You can also consider Exam 98-381: Introduction to Programming Using Python from Microsoft alongside preparing for this set. Please note this test is similar to PCEP although it requires additional knowledge of Python. I will be preparing a separate course for this Microsoft Python Certification in due course.

What does PCEP Certification Entail?

1. Preparing and sitting for PCEP certification has multi-fold benefits: 

2. Certified programmers stand out during a job interview process

3. Preparing for certification will help you solidify language fundaments

4. Certifications will help you carve a programmer's niche and make them more marketable

5. Studying for certification will help you to give top-notch interviews
