EmSAT Computer Science (c++) is a standardized test that is required for admission to many colleges and universities in the United Arab Emirates. It is designed to assess a student's ability to think critically and solve problems. The test consists of two sections: the multiple-choice section and the essay section. The multiple-choice section covers topics such as logic, algorithms, and programming.
EmSAT Achieve Computer Science (C++) is a 120-minute computerized test that measures the test takers’ level of proficiency in computer science (C++) and determines their readiness for college. EmSAT Achieve Computer Science consists of five major domains:
Test sections, questions, and options are randomized and timed by the test software. The computerized test is a timed test, wherein the test clock is visible at all times to test takers. The table given below will give you a basic knowledge of computer science (C++).

Below are the major sections and related content specifications that grade 12 students should be able to demonstrate mastery of in order to meet the expectations of this test.
The section includes what makes a computer: input and output devices, memory, and processing units (CPU). It focuses on how inputs insert information into the computer and how the output provides the desired result after processing all the information using the central processing unit that all computers have in common
The section includes the characteristics and properties of different types of networks. It focuses on how different network types and hosts within a network are arranged relative to each other and the different transmission modes that the network hosts use for these arrangements.
The section includes the computational thinking techniques that help us understand problems and the ways in which they can be resolved, and then use the computer (programming) to solve them more efficiently.
The section includes the essentials and basics of programming skills, including breaking down code into interrelated modules, controlling the execution of programs using different types of control structure statements, usage of built-in functions, and the appropriate selection of complex or simple data structures.
The section includes the impacts of computing concepts that students need to know before they move on to higher education. This includes how technology has changed different aspects of our lives in different contexts, such as health, education, environment, culture, social life, and workplaces.
If you are planning to take the EmSAT computer science (C++) exam, then there are a few things you can do in order to prepare for the EmSAT Computer Science (C++) test.
