CodeHS

Each exam is timed at 90 minutes and contains 45 multiple-choice questions. These questions will be based on a specific group of programming topics and concepts. 

Students will be able to take the online certification exam at home or school after receiving a voucher code from their teacher.  Students will have access to a reference sheet with built-in functions and commands that may be included in the certification exam.

There are a few ways the CodeHS Team has developed to prevent cheating: 

Honor Code: Students will sign an Honor Code before starting the exam.

Focus Mode: When students start the exam, they will not be able to navigate to another CodeHS page. Focus Mode will prevent students from going back to previous exercises, quizzes, and resources on CodeHS during the exam.

Randomly Generated Questions: Exam questions will be randomly generated from a bank of curated programming problems categorized by specific topics and concepts.

Time Limit: Students will have a limited time (90 minutes) to complete the exam which must be done in one sitting.
