Note:The registration for the 12th certification will close on December 17, students should hurry up and prepare. Practicing real questions is very necessary! Since the past real questions provided by the GESP official website come with answers, it is inconvenient to print them out for self-testing training, so I have organized a set of answer-free printable real questions, the acquisition method is as follows: Click on the aboveFollow me

After following, send a message in the public account:“GESP C++“, you can 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 evaluation systems (OJ) to do programming questions for further training.
