• You will be given a URL for the test problem at the time the test starts.
• You will have 50 minutes to create a working program to solve the given problem. So don't be late coming to the test! You will not get extra time!

• This is the test procedure followed.
• You can use any kind of paper text you wish. It is open note, open book, open Zybook.
• You can use the help in the Python IDE.
• You are NOT allowed to communicate with anyone during the test, either orally or electronically. All cell phones must be turned OFF. This is an INDIVIDUAL test.
• Flash memory sticks are allowed. You are allowed to use the Internet.
• Canvas will give you a URL for your test problem at the time the test starts.

• The only comments required are your name, your section and your uky.edu email address at the top. Of course, you can put in more if it helps you.
• You do NOT have to demonstrate the program to the TA.
