A Python-based ExamShell simulator inspired by the new 42 School Common Core Rank 03 exam, combined with a collection of organized solutions grouped by difficulty level.
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/SaraFreitas-dev/42-Python-ExamShell-Rank03
cd 42-Python-ExamShell-Rank03Run the ExamShell:
python3 examshell.pyYou will be presented with the main menu:
[1] Start Exam
[2] Practice Mode
[3] List all exercises
[q] Quit
When the ExamShell starts, it automatically creates an exam_workspace directory.
All exercise files should be created inside this folder. The grader will only validate solutions placed in the generated workspace.
Example:
exam_workspace/
├── py_echo_validator.py
├── py_shadow_merge.py
└── py_whisper_cipher.py
Simply create the requested file, implement your solution, and submit it through the ExamShell interface for automatic evaluation.
The ExamShell is the core of this repository.
It was built specifically to simulate the new Common Core Rank 03 experience and allows students to practice in conditions that are much closer to the real exam than simply reading solutions.
Features include:
- Random exercise assignment
- Progressive level system
- Automatic grading
- Hidden test cases
- Practice mode
- Exam mode
- Colored terminal interface
- Score tracking
- Time tracking
- Rank progression logic
- Pure Python implementation
The workflow mirrors the real exam:
- Receive a subject
- Create the requested Python file
- Implement the solution
- Submit for grading
- Fix failing tests
- Progress to the next level
Select:
[1] Start Exam
The simulator will:
- Assign exercises automatically
- Increase difficulty after each successful exercise
- Track your score
- Simulate a 3-hour exam session
- Recreate the Common Core Rank 03 workflow
The simulator uses a progressive difficulty system. To successfully complete the exam you must validate:
6 / 6 exercises
Select:
[2] Practice Mode
Practice Mode allows you to:
- Choose any exercise
- Focus on a specific level
- Submit unlimited times
- Train without time pressure
Solutions are organized by level and include subjects and completed exercises.

This makes it easy to study specific difficulty ranges or review previously solved exercises.
- Strings
- Lists
- Dictionaries
- Matrices
- Sorting
- Palindromes
- Caesar Cipher
- Anagrams
- Pattern Matching
- Base Conversion
- Array Rotation
- Subsequence Detection
- Algorithmic Thinking
