PCPP1- Python Professional Certification Exam
Took the Certified Professional in Python Programming 1 (PCPP1) exam as I was curious what a professional certification questions and exams looks like. Took the Python Advance course from the openEDG.org for straight twenty five days with all exercises done, gave exam, got certified. This is a repository for the exercises.
After I completed the course, felt like I time travelled back to my freshman and sophomore years of my college especially for the GUI! (Graphical User Interface). C++'s Yahtzee game is still fresh.
You can take exam by going to an exam center or proctored online exam. PearsonVUE has more information on it.
Through the course I had to retain in my prefrontal lobe what different PEP’s conventions are, how Python community is organized, different methods and attributes available in different modules in Python. Tkinter was a revisit on more detail. The idea of just looking up the documentation was missed. Thought current bots would love questions like these, but yeah I do appreciate having that sure-fire answers.
I did spent more time knowing about meta-programming and concretized compositional makeup of classes.
If you are planning to give the exam that cost 195$/exam, make sure you have good grip of the contents of the course. Exercises were fun to complete. There are 45 multiple choice questions that you need to complete in 75 minutes.
I also wanted to have some ribbon that I can show so gave the exam. If you ask me if I would rather spend that time working on cool applications, I would of course choose the later.
I am thinking of getting another ribbon for AWS. hahaha. Let’s see.
I hope this gave you my opinion on giving Certified Professional in Python Programming 1 exam! Best of Luck on yours. ✨
