Hints

Read through the text-book, especially the examples carefully.

Attempt practical problems in the textbook. The more problems you have attempted, the higher the probability that you can survive the test / exam. Practice might not make perfect, but it certainly makes better.

Work hard continuously, not just the week before the test or exam.

If you are weak at programming, ask your teacher for help at the very beginning of the term. Do not wait until the week before the test / exam. You have been warned.

Attend every lecture and pay attention in class. Finish all the exercises on your own.
