Note:The registration for the 12th certification will close on December 17, so students should prepare in time. Review the real questions. Since the past real questions provided by the GESP official website come with answers, they are not convenient for printing for self-testing training, so I have organized a set of answer-free printable real questions, and the acquisition method is as follows:

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 evaluation systems (OJ) to do programming questions for further training.

For most primary and secondary school students across the country, they can practice programming questions on the Luogu platform. They can also practice on the Shanghai Computer Society competition platform according to star levels. Of course, Zhejiang also has many excellent OJ platforms from various informatics institutions that provide free programming practice and algorithm 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!Scan to add friends for discussionAdd friends | Note “C++”
