Are you ready to take the PCEP™ – Certified Entry-Level Python Programmer exam? Test yourself by answering 270 questions! This course is in the form of practice tests and consists of 270 questions that may appear during the Certified Entry-Level Python Programmer exam. Some questions are self-explanatory. Where necessary, explanations are added to the questions. This course allows you to confirm your proficiency and give you the confidence you need to earn the PCEP™ – Certified Entry-Level Python Programmer certification.
[ABOUT CERTIFICATION]
PCEP™ – Certified Entry-Level Python Programmer certification shows that the individual is familiar with universal computer programming concepts like data types, containers, functions, conditions, loops, as well as Python programming language syntax, semantics, and the runtime environment.
The PCEP™ certification shows that the individual is familiar with the following concepts: fundamental terms and definitions (e.g. compilation vs. interpretation), Python’s logic and structure (e.g. keywords, instructions, indentation), literals, variables, and numeral systems, operators and data types, I/O operations, control flow mechanisms (conditional blocks and loops), data collections (lists, tuples, dictionaries, strings), functions (decomposition, built-in and user-defined functions, organizing interaction between functions and their environment, generators, recursion), exceptions (exception handling, hierarchies), as well as the essentials of Python programming language syntax, semantics, and the runtime environment.
Exam details:
- validity: lifetime
- duration: 40 or 45 minutes + 5 minutes NDA/tutorial
- passing score: 70%
- format: single and multiple choice questions, drag & drop, gap fill, sort, code fill, code insertion
- languages: English, Spanish
- price: about $ 60
Which version of Python is used in the course?
Python 3.x.
Can I take the practice test more than once?
You can take each practical test multiple times. After completing the practice test, your final result will be published. Each time you take the test, the order of questions and answers is randomized.
Do I have a time limit for practice tests?
Each test has a time limit and it is set as in the exam, 90 seconds per question. This gives a total of over 6 hours for questions in this course.
What result is required?
The required grade for each practice test is 70% correct answers.
Are the questions multiple choice?
In order to reflect the form of the interview as much as possible and to raise the level of difficulty, the questions are single and multiple choice.
Can I see my answers?
You can review all submitted responses and see which were correct and which were not.
Are the questions updated on a regular basis?
Yes.
Notes! I strongly encourage you to repeat these exams until you consistently achieve a score of 90% or higher on each exam. Do not hesitate and take the challenge today. Good luck!
Content
- Course Overview
- This curriculum is meticulously engineered to align with the 2026 Python Institute exam objectives, ensuring students are learning the most current syntax and best practices.
- The course provides a structured roadmap that transitions from basic computer logic to the complexities of procedural programming.
- It emphasizes the Pythonic way of thinking, teaching students how to write clean, readable, and efficient code that adheres to PEP 8 standards.
- Participants will engage with a variety of interactive modules that break down the execution environment and the role of the Python interpreter in software development.
- The training is designed to demystify the internal workings of memory management and variable assignment within the Python ecosystem.
- Requirements / Prerequisites
- A standard desktop or laptop computer with Windows, macOS, or Linux capabilities is required for local software installation.
- An active internet connection is necessary to access the interactive coding labs and external documentation resources.
- A fundamental understanding of how to download and install software, specifically Python 3.x and code editors.
- No prior knowledge of any programming language is expected, as the course builds concepts from the ground up.
- A proactive mindset toward logical puzzles and a willingness to troubleshoot syntax errors through trial and error.
- Skills Covered / Tools Used
- Comprehensive use of Integrated Development and Learning Environments (IDLE) and modern code editors like Visual Studio Code.
- Deep dive into Core Data Types, including the manipulation of strings, integers, floats, and booleans.
- Implementation of Control Flow Logic using if-elif-else statements and complex nested loops (while and for).
- Advanced Sequence Management covering the indexing, slicing, and mutation of lists, tuples, and dictionaries.
- Mastery of Function Definition, including the use of positional arguments, keyword parameters, and return values.
- Expertise in Bitwise and Logical Operators to perform precise data calculations and condition checks.
- Practical application of Exception Handling blocks (try-except-finally) to build resilient, crash-proof applications.
- Benefits / Outcomes
- Attainment of the PCEP Certified Entry-Level Python Programmer credential, a globally recognized validation of your coding skills.
- Creation of a solid architectural foundation that facilitates an easier transition into high-level languages like Java, C++, or Ruby.
- Ability to automate repetitive tasks and streamline data processing workflows using custom-built Python scripts.
- Preparation for junior-level technical roles such as software testing, data analysis support, or system administration.
- Eligibility to pursue the PCAP (Certified Associate) certification with a higher level of confidence and technical proficiency.
- PROS
- Future-proofed content specifically updated to reflect the testing standards of the 2026 PCEP exam cycle.
- Scenario-based learning that mirrors real-world programming challenges rather than just dry theory.
- Comprehensive exam simulation tools that help reduce test anxiety by mimicking the actual certification environment.
- Modular lesson design allows learners to study at their own pace and revisit complex topics like recursion and scope.
- CONS
- This course focuses exclusively on foundational programming logic and does not delve into third-party frameworks like Django, Flask, or Pandas.
