Programming Fundamentals Exam 2
Congratulations on completing Module 2 of Programming Fundamentals.

This exam must be completed by Saturday, July 1st at 11:59PM ET in order to receive detailed personalized feedback on your exam answers. Exams submitted after that date will be graded without commentary.

Answers should be short but detailed enough to show us you know the answer and its application. They can range from lists, to a single sentence, to a few sentences. Don't go crazy! Just answer the questions and don't feel the need to add additional information.

PRS Clinical Coach Candidates must receive a score of 85% or higher on all exams and case studies to pass each course.

Coaches & Athletes: It is to your benefit to take the exams. Scoring does not matter but will provide you valuable insight as to how well you are absorbing the information and where you might want to utilize the Facebook group to ask questions and start discussions to clarify areas of uncertainty.
