  • Think about Python syntax rules before answering
  • Remember that Python is 0-indexed (counting starts at 0)
  • Pay attention to mutable vs immutable data types
  • For multiple select questions, select ALL correct answers
  • Consider the difference between similar functions (e.g., append vs extend)
  • Review your answers before submitting
  • Practice writing actual Python code to reinforce concepts!
