Why learn Python?

Python is easy to learn. The syntax is simple and the code is very readable. With Python, you can write programs in fewer lines of code than with most other programming languages. The popularity of Python is growing rapidly. It is now one of the most popular programming languages. Python has a wide variety of applications. It is used for automation, web application development, artificial intelligence, data science and so on:

Automation

Python can make life easier by automating many tasks, such as scraping a website to collect data, automating test cases in software development, or automating everyday office tasks. Python can easily access and read all kinds of files, which opens up the possibility of saving a lot of time by automating repetitive tasks.

Web Development

Python is a good choice for rapid web application development. With many frameworks like Django, Pyramid, and Flask, you can develop web applications with great speed using Python. Python is used on the server side of web development. You can use Python to interact with database and create RESTful API services.

Artificial Intelligence

The near future will be the era of artificial intelligence. In the past, computers and machines were used to perform mathematical calculations at very high speeds, but now many large organizations and researchers are working to develop intelligent systems that can perform tasks like a human. To some extent, machines are able to understand human emotions and their natural language. They can mimic certain human actions that were not possible before. Again, Python is very popular for developing AI systems.

Data Science

Earlier, Python was mainly used to build applications and write scripts to automate tasks, but now a brand new trend of data science has given Python an even bigger boost. Data scientists are heavily dependent on Python because it is so simple, has a large community, and can perform huge calculations with ease.

Python is being used in a wide variety of fields, and there are no signs that this trend is coming to a halt. It's safe to say that Python is here to stay for the long haul in this ever-changing and evolving IT industry.

This is very help full course. I have finished only 4 of these tests it helped me to get 93% in real exam.doing these exam and searching little bit about the topics in syllabus will guide you to pass it.very helpful thank you sir.

I just passed the PCAP with a score of 74%. I definitely give these practice tests a lot of credit for the fact that I passed. My only criticism is that these tests should not be 90+ questions long. It would be better to cut them in half and provide 12 tests. Additionally, some of the questions on the PCAP are definitely harder than these practice tests, in that they combine multiple subjects into one question. Advice to anyone who plans to take the test: The test was very challenging for me. I believe about 15 questions were easy giveaways, 15 questions were moderately challenging, and 10 questions were really difficult. The harder questions would combine multiple subjects into one question. These questions do not contain practically written code that you would expect to see in real life, rather it is intentionally confusing to test your understanding of the programming language itself. About half of the questions require you to provide two answers out of the options provided. It's important that you understand the subject matter beyond what is provided in these practice tests. Process of elimination skills will be very important.

I don't know if it was the pressure or something but the actual exam questions felt a little bit harder. However, I did pass the exam and a lot of it is thanks to the practice I got with this course. Also, the passing score was basically the same that I got on the practice tests here.

Great compilation of question. I have passed the exam with 88% mark on 14 Oct 2023. Thanks for question bank. Though the question in real exam was bit up in level but it has given me clear indication how the question would be

I've passed the exam today with 81% These sample tests helped me in my learning journey. Though the test was tough (for me), the preparation with these sample tests helped me in scoring. Thanks!

Hello Cord, Although I have completed only two of 6 practice tests, I have passed PCAP-31-03 today with score 96%. I will still take the rest of practice tests as they are very good in identifying any weak areas to study further. The practice tests are great! Exam questions were hard, these practice tests help prepare for the exam. Are you planning on creating practice tests for PCPP1 in near future?

Thanks Cord Mählmann for consolidating the sample questions. I have cleared the exam on 16Sep23 with 74%. All the 6 Practice tests are just right, which closely resembles the actual test. One should attempt all the tests at least 3 times to know the weak areas and practice well. I would definitely recommend these tests to have a taste of the real exam. One can feel confident after finishing all the practice tests!!

Really helpful on reviewing all topics and finding weaknesses to focus on. Not recommend as initial study material, I am using it as a final check. Very helpful at the end of study material before actual test. Thank you!

I took Python at a local community college for 2 years. I crammed this course in a week and I passed the PCAP. Thanks!!!

The questions were quite comprehensive and had the right balance of tricky and straight forward. Only issue is that some questions across the tests are repetitive, otherwise this course was perfect practice for the exam.

I passed all these practice tests with 70-76% and today I passed the PCAP exam with 92%. thanks for the good practice that helped me prepare.

Algunos de los contenidos de las preguntas están fuera del alcance de la formación que he realizado con el Python Institute. Sin, embargo, creo que es una buena preparación para el examen, puesto que el nivel puede que sea algo superior en estos exámenes de prueba. Lo recomiendo.

I got my PCAP exam on second attempt with 84%. It was not easy and some questions where not in the test exams nor in the edube courses... However, these practice tests are invaluable and enable you to score easy points and save time to review more tricky questions during the exam. In that they are of great value to succeed in the PCAP test. Furthermore, Cord is very responsive and always updating and improving both questions and answers. Thanks again for your support. In the end, these practice tests are very strongly recommended to pass the PCAP exam. Marco Cucocolo Certified Associate in Python Programming ;-)

I got 74% on the first PACP attempt after going through the six-pack of practice tests. For those practice tests, I got 60% something for the first five tests but 86% on the last. The real exam is way easier than the practice tests. I also purchased the other set of practice exams, but obviously this is most close to the PCAP exam so go for it. Thank you Cord!

I recently passed the exam and this is the only course I've followed. The questions are exactly the kind you will find during the test. The syllabus for the latest version has probably even been reduced (no questions on the calendar module for example), so a few things might be useless. If you can do all the tests a couple of times with good results, there's no way you can fail the exam.
