Hey everyone! I'm a Computer Science student who unfortunately failed my Programming class. However, I've got a shot to pass the semester if I ace this special exam worth 100 points. I need at least a 60 to pass, and the exam covers everything from the semester including variables, functions, memory, pointers, logical operators, loops, strings, index variables, matrices, structs, dynamic memory allocation, and recursive functions. The exam is coming up quick on July 7th, and while I have a fair grasp on these topics, I know I need to practice hard. Do you think I can really improve my C programming skills enough in just one week? Any advice on how to prepare effectively for this?

If you have homework from the class, that's a great starting point. Go through them and try to solve the problems without referring to your old code or solutions. It's important to really understand how to solve each one from scratch! It’ll help sharpen your skills and you might find patterns that can help in the exam.
I used ChatGPT a lot too, not just to copy solutions but to understand the code better. But I realized I was just memorizing instead of learning. Practice with old exams too—those can give you a good sense of the types of questions to expect!
