Videos and Reading:

1. If you have not already done so, complete ALL the exercises in Sessions 2 through 4.

   • Reminder: You must COMPLETELY understand ALL of your solutions.
   • Get help from your instructor and/or student assistants if you have some solutions that you do NOT completely understand.
   • If you are still working on Sessions 1 through 4 and have not yet begun Session 5, contact your instructor to get help catching up before Exam 1.

2. Read the Exam 1 information, if you have not already done so.

   • Note especially the Admission Ticket that you MUST complete BEFORE you take the exam. Plan accordingly!
   • If you have ANY questions about the exam — what it covers, how it works, and/or the material it assesses — ask your instructor NOW, by email or whatever.

3. Do the Practice Problems for the Paper-and-Pencil part of the exam..

   • These are EXCELLENT practice problems. Understanding them is CRITICAL to your success.
   • You can print them or not, your choice.

   • To WRITE YOUR ANSWERS, do one of the following (YOUR CHOICE):

     • hand-write your answers on the document if you printed it, or
     • hand-write your answers on a separate sheet of paper, or
     • type your answers in a file.
       • A plain text file (as in Notepad) is best, but a Microsoft Word file is OK.
       • It does not matter what the name of the file is.

     Number your answers in the same order as they appear in the document with the problem statements.

   • AFTER (!) doing each page of those problems, check your answers to the problems on that page via the Answer Key to those problems.

     • The Answer Key has the same page-by-page organization as the questions. Do a page of questions, then check your answers for (only) that page. Then do another page of questions, check your answers to that page, and so forth.

   • To TURN IN YOUR ANSWERS:

     • If you wrote your answers by hand, take a photo of your answers.
     • Submit either that photo or the file in which you typed your answers to Moodle in the item named Turn in your Practice Paper-and-Problems here that appears in the session/topic for Session 6.
4. There are no videos for this Preparation, hence no Moodle quizzes associated with videos.
5. In PyCharm, do VCS ~ Update to obtain the 06-Sample_Exam1-Optional. You are not required to DO the problems in that sample exam, but you should READ them.

6. Do this this Before-the-Session quiz.

   • You do not have to print the quiz (unless you want to). Just hand-write your answers on paper (or type your answers into a file if you prefer).

7. Check your own answers to the above Before-the-Session quiz by examining this Answer Key to the Before-the-Session quiz for Session 6.

8. Turn in your answers to the Before-the-Session quiz in the usual way (on Moodle, via the item named Turn in your Before-the-Session quiz here.).

9. There are no Start-the-Session videos for this session.
