Several CodeHS Python courses are aligned with the PCEP exam objectives and include practice materials designed to reinforce key programming concepts and prepare students for certification.
The PCEP exam measures foundational knowledge of Python programming, including:
Computer Programming and Python Fundamentals
Control Flow – Conditional Blocks and Loops
Data Collections – Tuples, Dictionaries, Lists, and Strings
Functions and Exceptions
The CodeHS Texas Computer Science I in Python course aligns with these key topic areas and provides multiple opportunities for students to learn, practice, and assess their understanding.
