Note:The registration for the 11th certification will close on the 16th of this month, so students should hurry up and prepare. Students who are not sufficiently prepared can first practice a wave of real questions. Since the past real questions provided by the GESP official website come with answers, they are not convenient for printing for self-assessment training, so I have organized a set of printable real questions without answers, and the method to obtain them is as follows: Click on the above 
Follow us
After following, send a message in the WeChat account:“GESP C++”, to obtain GESP C++ past real question materials, including both answered and unanswered real questions.
After completing the real questions, we can also go to some online assessment systems (OJ) to do programming questions for enhanced training.

For most primary and secondary school students nationwide, they can practice programming questions on the Luogu platform, and can also practice on the Shanghai Computer Society Competition Platform according to star levels. Of course, Zhejiang also has many excellent OJ platforms from informatics institutions that provide free programming practice and programming competitions/monthly contests, so everyone can participate more to promote learning through competition.If you have any questions or ideas, feel free to discuss and exchange!
