Something about the exam;
This year's exam similar format as last; 5Q, answer all; all questions equally weighted.
Many people asked me about algorithms:
Will algorithms be tested?
Of course, it will.
Do you need to invent new algorithms for the exam?
NO. Nothing that you have not seen before.
But, you will need to recognize what algorithm to use and apply it correctly. It will be something you have seen before!
