The EmSAT Computer Science Test is divided into two sections: the Multiple-Choice section and the Free-Response section. In the Multiple-Choice section, students are given a set of questions to answer based on a given scenario or problem. In the Free-Response section, students are given a scenario or problem and must write a program to solve it. The EmSAT Computer Science Test is offered once per year, and the test date is announced by the Ministry of Education. EmSAT Achieve Computer Science test is split into three parts; python, java, and C++.
