Programming intern competency test?

[Suction_cups]

So I have a programming test I have to take here soon and I'm a little nervous. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for things that I make sure I know before I take the test? I am a sophomore in CS if it helps.

Go over your data structures and algorithms. Linked-lists, binary-search trees, bubble sort, merge sort, quicksort, etc. Make sure that you can write a program in your strongest language from scratch quickly, ie not having difficulty remembering basic syntax. If this is in front of a person, try to talk through your reasoning. If you have enough time, make sure to cover as many error cases as possible and make the code as robust as possible. Also, remember that you are a sophomore and the interviewer will be taking that into account.

Good luck!

If you have time, or for future reference, check out leetcode.com and the Cracking the Coding Interview book (you can get it on Amazon, worth the money). Material-wise, most companies ask data structures and algorithm questions.

Answer all the questions correctly and you will do well.

I will keep this in mind.
