Did they charge for the placement exams? The school I attended had credit by exam, but it cost the same, or nearly the same, as actually taking the course.
What was the placement exam like? I think to really be fair an exam like that shouldn't be so much a C++ exam, as it should be a programming exam. In other words, C++ syntax isn't as important as understanding what polymorphism is. It should be acceptable to answer programming questions on an exam like that in pseudo code.
- dangrossman 15y agoThe tests were free, if you passed you simply had permission to take the higher level courses without those prerequisites. It's been a long time so I might be mis-remembering, but I remember there being some short answer questions, I think C++ was used in questions where you were asked to look at code, but pseudocode was acceptable for answering the programming questions.
