How an "amateur banker" passed the Python 3 Engineer Certification Basic Exam in a week

Regarding the Python3 engineer certification basic exam, I felt that there are many articles mounted on Qiita with the tone that engineers are "easy", so I thought that it would be useful for non-engineers.

Programming beginners write "success stories" and "failure stories" concisely only for the purpose of passing the exam

My specs

・ Bank clerk who does not usually program ・ I learned COBOL for about 3 months in the training for new employees, but I was frustrated. After that, don't touch it.

Test results

・ 750 points / 1000 points (passing score 700 points: passing rate 70-80%) ・ Study period is 7 days x 3 hours during the year-end and New Year holidays

Ideal study method

0) Python installation (I installed jupyter notebook) [0.5h]
1) Confirmation of test range [0.1h]

Read the exam outline and the number of questions   https://www.pythonic-exam.com/exam/basic

2) Learn super basics on the Web (WEB INTO DIVE) [5h]

It's important to always move your hands and execute various patterns in Python.   https://exam.diveintocode.jp/exam

3) Mock exam + review [5h]

It is important to solve the mock exam once at an early stage. Let's suppress something that we don't have to do here.   https://exam.diveintocode.jp/exam

Let's review both 〇 and × by referring to the following sites until you understand the contents.   https://qiita.com/Lily0727K/items/87304160e09aff5e8a18

4) Python tutorial scan [5h]

If you read it suddenly, you will feel sick, so read the link below for an overview. https://qiita.com/R1ck29/items/17f8bcf70feb2c3d516c

It's time to read the tutorial, but you don't need to understand everything. It is enough to check before and after the part where the contents of the mock test are written.

5) Python tutorial review & practice test 2nd [5h]

Focus on the number of questions and the important points of the tutorial. Chapters 1,2,3,4,5,8,10,12,14 have good cost performance, so I will study mainly here.

Take the second mock exam, review and complete the measures! !!

Study method I have done (including failure stories)

1) Read from the Python tutorial

It was too difficult to go to the bookshelf on the first two pages. "Amateur should never touch first !!"

2) Python Start Book (written by Shingo Tsuji)

This is a masterpiece for beginners, but the range is too wide to be suitable for exam preparation. Difficult and frustrated with "Chapter 8 Creating Functions" ... However, if a programming beginner wants to get a feel for "what is a class?", It is possible to study only chapters 1 to 3.

What I thought during the exam

・ Even if you don't understand the problem well, you can narrow down the options by elimination (clearly different answers are mixed). ・ About 70% of the questions are similar to the mock exam (there are no exactly the same questions, so it is necessary to understand the contents) ・ There is a lot of time left, 30 minutes is enough even if it is reviewed (test time is 60 minutes)

(Digression) What I am aiming for from now on

・ From a business perspective, we are planning AI / artificial intelligence projects and creating organizations. If I don't know the contents, I feel that there is a limit to how much I can grow, so I would like to continue studying the following. 4Q 2019: "udemy Practical Python Data Science" "kaggle Participation" "AWS Related Qualifications" 2020: "Deep Learning E Test"
