Some students wanted to have a more concrete
idea of how and on what they would be tested.
Here, you can find some information.

Approximate distribution of topics per questions:

#questions    Topic      
     1        File processing in C++                     
     1        Record and Field Organization               
     3        Secondary Storage devices                         
     2        Basic I/O Software and Hardware & buffering  
     3        Data compression                            
     1        Reclaiming space
     1        Fragmentation (at the file level)
     1        Sorting and Searching
     1        Indexing
     1        Co-sequential processing

Types of concepts being tested:

- understanding of concepts
- understanding of the algorithms
- understanding of practical issues in file structures and 
  file organization
- ability to apply knowledge to problem solving

Ways of testing these concepts:

- finding the right/false statement among 5 statements
- calculations
- simulation of algorithms
- transforming given file structures
