THE PRACTICAL TEST IS USED TO ASSESS THE CURRENT ABILITY OF THE STUDENT TO APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED AND DEMONSTRATE COMPREHENSION SKILLS IN DEALING WITH A PRACTICAL PROBLEM IN PROGRAMMING, DESIGN AN ALGORITHMIC SOLUTION AND WRITE THE PROGRAM THAT SOLVES IT. THE PRACTICAL TEST IS PREPARATORY TO THE ORAL EXAMINATION, AND REQUIRES THE ACHIEVEMENT OF PREDETERMINED MINIMUM SCORE.
