NA446A Python for data you can trust

Exam

Written digital exam in an exam hall, without aids and without AI.

Date Time
Exam Saturday 7 November 2026 14:15–16:15 (preliminary)
Re-exam Friday 4 December 2026 14:15–16:15 (preliminary)

The exam covers both parts of the course. Final details of the format are posted here and on Blackboard at the start of the course.

The Python part

Most questions show a few lines of code and ask what they produce, or ask what goes wrong in a piece of data work: the skills you practise in the labs, done in your head. Nothing needs to be memorised beyond what you use in the labs.

Sample exam for the Python part: ten questions with answers and explanations.

Best preparation: do each session’s self-test without AI, predict before you run, and redo the lab tasks from scratch.
