Lecture 6.2Revision and test review

int s = 10;int r;for(r=0; r<=4; r=r+2) {

s = s + 5;}System.out.println(s);

Put this code into Jeliot

For loops – what is the value of s ?

thimble = thimble - 2; needle = needle + 3;

} while(thimble > 7);System.out.println(needle);

banana = banana + 5;apple--;

}System.out.println(banana);

Dates and times of the tests

Arrive on time Bring pens and/or pencils Check which test version you are doing

◦ e.g. Test A or Test B Start completing the paper dry run as soon

as the test starts. Logon for your test (i.e. A or B) when

advised to do so.

Test Summary

You have 50 minutes to complete the whole test which includes: -◦ doing the dry run, ◦ entering your answers to the 15 questions on line, and ◦ doing the 10 Jafa type questions.

You should spend no longer than 15 to 20 minutes completing the dry run on paper, which gives you about half an hour to enter the answers to the 5 questions and then answer another 10 quiz type questions.

There is no negative marking. You will not be penalised for getting the answer wrong, so you may as well attempt each question.

How long should you spend doing the dry run?

In the last lecture, you revisited how to do a dry run and revised some of the key material that we have covered up to this week.

In the last tutorial you went through the answers to the mock test.

Some of you are not up to date with Jafa – please see your tutors to explain why you are having difficulty with this. You need to catch up before next week, or you will have significant difficulty in the test.

Essential knowledge

Have a look at this youtube video (8 mins) – not all of it is relevant to your programming test, but there is some good general advice:

Strategies for passing a multiple choice test

We hope you do well in the test next week. We will go through the test answers in the

tutorials the following week, and will get your results up on Wolf as soon as possible.

In this school, we always aim to get your results back to you for feedback within 4 weeks – this is the same as almost every other university – because this is an online test we should be able to get them to you within two weeks.
