Continual Assessment - Practical Exam (PE)

Preamble

Practical Exam (PE) is an important assessment for this module. It tests your ability to solve and program a few tasks within the stipulated time.

It is an open-book test. It constitutes 25% of your final grade.

The best way to prepare for PE is to have a lot of practice.
