 The best way to prepare for the test is to do the labs and the "to do" lists; review the lecture notes and the book sections; and to create a number of basic programs in your home directory so you can easily and quickly adapt them during the test to solve the test questions.

+==== Scope ====
+The test will cover everything after LT#1 and up to the prior week. This means CGI (in Perl) and JEE Webapps (Servlets, JSP, MVC). Note, however, that custom JSP tags are not in scope; only EL and JSTL are.
+==== Format ====
+The test involves hands-on problem solving: you will be presented with a problem and asked to solve it. You are expected to devise a solution, implement it, and then submit it.
+Note that even though this is a lab test, you may treat it as a paper test; i.e. write programs and submit them without even attempting to see if they compile. Doing so will allow you to finish faster but may lead to lower marks because your program may have errors or shortcomings that could have been identified had you compiled and ran your code. You must therefore manage your time carefully to achieve an optimal trade off.
+==== Preparation ====
+The best way to prepare for the test is to do the labs (labs 2-4) and review the lecture notes posted in the Calendar along with the cross-listed book sections. It also helps to have a number of basic template servlets and JSP files in your home directory so you can easily and quickly adapt them during the test to solve the test questions.
