Oh Nice…! Thanks again…!!!
I won’t even go for giving exam. You have the syllabus. And syllabus is limited.
@l_returns , How much close were u in passing the exam?
I want to know the minimum no of questions sorted from easiest required to pass, and how many were u able to solve?
@vineetja I’d say, u can appear for Advanced exam with enough Data structure and Algorithms knowledge and ability to implement it, but just remain cautioned as quoted by Codechef
Caution
While skipping a level is allowed for rated CodeChef users, we recommend the users to give the previous level exam before taking the next level. Only if the user feels confident of skipping a level, and has the requisite rating points, should she do so.
Means u would have passed if u solved 2,3,5 or not?
And U were able to solve only 2 and 5?
Solving any three will pass the exam.
I solved 2 and 3. \hspace{0mm}
I think Expert level questions started from our 4th question, as in Advanced, 3 was criteria to pass, so I think I’d be trying it, after I have practiced all the topics of expert.

Well in my opinion, what I found weird in CCDSAP is not allowing use of templates.
At least for Java its sucks, when without writing a FastIO template you eventually might get a TLE. Why should I bother remembering the whole fast IO just for this exam?
Also I don’t think giving standard algorithms direct implementation is a nice idea to judge anyone’s skills rather problem solving. Again its my opinion.
I don’t know about java, but C++ fast Io is 2 lines and easy to remember, and also mentioned in C++ docs, is Java’s mentioned as well in Java docs?
I also noticed one more thing, in 45 mins before exam timings, that one should not trust the system, example I use sublime, I tested an infinite loop (which anyone can Mistakenly do while in exam), and I couldn’t even click the cancel build button, the system hanged. I mean, It’s always better to use terminal, or u may have to deal with loss of time due to turning the CPU off and on again.
Nope its not mentioned in docs. And the one line ip(Scanner class) is highly inefficient.
whoaaa , just got million dollar start-up Idea. 
If you want to skip foundation level, yes you can no need to worry about that you can directly appear for advanced level and can crack it with enough knowledge of Data Structures + Advance Data Structures + Algorithm.
Do practice well !

When we are supposed to get results of ccdsap?

why not to use Buffered Reader instead of Scanner, which is quite good and simple enough to remember ; )
BufferedReader takes ip in a line, need to split it in a array form again type cast it. I simply don’t like this.
