Information Processing Engineer Practical + Written: Code Tracing Pass Roadmap for Beginners

This course was created based on my personal experience passing the very first revised Information Processing Engineer practical exam, which had a pass rate of only 5.34%. The Information Processing Engineer practical exam can no longer be prepared for through simple memorization alone. In particular, the ability to read the execution flow of C, Java, Python, and SQL code to track results, as well as the ability to accurately distinguish short-answer concepts and write them as answers, has become crucial. This course is structured to help even beginners who are new to programming follow along step-by-step, covering everything from creating variable tables to tracking C, Java, Python, and SQL code, core practical terminology, and written exam subjects 1 through 5. Rather than being a video-centered course, this is a text-based course designed for fast reading and repeated review. It makes it easy to look up necessary parts again and focuses on practicing how to derive answers at the testing center by following the code and explanations directly. The 1st update covers the practical programming sections: C, Java, Python, and SQL. The 2nd update will organize core terms and concepts required for the short-answer practical questions and provide a "Stepper Simulator" to practice code tracking directly. The 3rd update will sequentially expand to cover written exam subjects 1 through 5. The Stepper Simulator is designed so that you don't just stop at reading explanations; you can understand how variable values change as the code executes line by line by following along yourself. If you have any questions while taking the course, please leave them in the Q&A. I will respond as quickly as possible to ensure your learning doesn't get stuck.

What you will gain after the course

  • You can trace the execution flow of C, Java, Python, and SQL code line by line and derive changes in variable values and output results on your own.

  • You can organize key terms frequently appearing in the short-answer section of the Information Processing Engineer practical exam, including their definitions, criteria for differentiation, and how to write the answers.

  • You can understand the core concepts from subjects 1 to 5 of the written exam by connecting them to the practical exam, and you will be able to distinguish between confusing options in multiple-choice questions.

  • You can create a personalized summary flow that allows you to repeatedly review text-based materials and quickly revise them right before an exam.

  • Through the stepper simulator, you can develop your code-tracing skills by directly following how variable values change as the code executes.

Who is this course right for?

  • Beginners preparing for the Information Processing Engineer practical exam who feel overwhelmed and don't know where to start when they see C, Java, or Python code.

  • Examinees who cannot track how variable values change and are guessing the code execution results based on intuition.

  • Examinees who want to prepare for both the written and practical exams simultaneously but are unsure of the order in which to organize the vast amount of theory.

  • Examinees who prefer studying by quickly reading and repeatedly reviewing text materials rather than watching long video lectures.

Need to know before starting?

  • It is okay even if you have no programming experience. This course explains everything step-by-step, starting from creating variable tables and the order of reading code to the basic syntax of C, Java, Python, and SQL.

Hello, I'm Potato-ssam, a frontend developer with 4 years of experience.

Currently, I am developing a global mobility service. I have gained practical experience by building multilingual services and am also a global Top 30 contributor to the open-source library react-hook-form, which is used by developers worldwide.

But I wasn't always like this from the start.

When I first learned JS, I felt like I understood everything while following along with YouTube tutorials, but I countless times experienced my mind going blank the moment I opened an empty editor. At first, I was just busy copying and pasting code I found through Googling, and when an error occurred, I didn't know where to start, leading to many frustrated nights spent staying up for days.

I struggled a lot during that process. I wrote code without even knowing what the DOM was, and I wasted hours not understanding why an event was firing twice. What I needed most back then wasn't memorizing vast amounts of grammar. It was someone who could explain "why this code actually works."

I created this course by organizing everything I've built up over four years of practical experience, along with the areas where I struggled the most as a beginner. You don't have to take the long way around like I did. I've already been through it for you.
