Should remove piscine part
Hi, I appreciate the effort you've put into the 42_EXAM project. I do have a suggestion to discuss, however. As a student who did a piscine in 2018 and 2023 I noticed a big difference. In 2023, most pisciners already knew every exam exercices beforehand and even learning them by heart like it's a poem... and already did some grademe... that said... ; Fairness in assessments is key for every student to demonstrate their knowledge on an equal footing. As it stands, the Piscine section of the 42_EXAM is accessible to everyone. This might inadvertently enable some Piscine students to use the exam prematurely, granting them an unfair advantage. This changes the core purpose of an exam - to gauge a student's understanding and capabilities. On the other hand, those unaware of the 42_EXAM do not have this advantage, which isn't quite equitable. With this in mind, you might want to think about removing the Piscine portion from the 42_EXAM. This could potentially result in a fairer selection process, allowing each student to showcase their true potential through their own diligence and understanding.
Hello @zneel 👋 I've been thinking a lot about this. I don't really work on 42_EXAM anymore but you're right this is a problem and leaves unequal chances at the 42 contest.
I will soon remove the pool exams.
They will no longer be accessible on the repo. This will be done within a week, I'll close the issue as soon as it's done.
Thank you for your message and your involvement in the interest of 42_EXAM
Hello, The pool topics have just changed. I've decided to stop updating the pool subjects to let students practice on the old ones. This way, they won't have to memorize the exercises and they'll just be able to practice in a different way :)
Not sure what do you mean by just changed. Because I can assure you from a reliable source that they did not
Pls, don't delete it. It's quite good practice for those ones who got back after a huge freeze and want to get back to coding. Unfortunately, there is no special program for the people like me. And this rwesource is a unique way to train and remember some things that already went out of your head.
