This site was created to share videos and practice tests related to the Computer Science Praxis. Â
Key points as you use this site:Â
Use each dropdown to expand each topic. Go in order, from top to bottom.Â
Each topic has videos, many have colabs and other ways to "play" with what you are learning, and there is at least one "Self Check" for each test topic.
Be positive and kind to yourself - you can do this; one step at a time.
