Past Tests and Exams for COMP102
This page has links to past tests and exams and model solutions for the last decade or so of COMP102.
Note that the course has changed over the years. Significant changes were
- 2020: Changed way of handling files from
File to Path.of and Files
- 2015: Changed ecs100 to use Java 8 - simplifies user interface code (adding buttons, etc).
- 2014: Changed balance of questions in tests and exam. Changed name of library from
comp102 to ecs100 (no internal changes)
- 2013: Introduced
ArrayList in addition to arrays
- 2011: changing from the
comp100 library to the comp102 library with the UI class
- 2009: moved to 15 points, had two smaller tests, dropped recursion as an assessable topic
These changes mean that tests and exams from previous years may not always match the current version of the course.
Note also that the
brief Java documentation which was provided with tests and exams (not included in the versions below) changed from year to year.
For effective learning, tackle the tests/exams before looking at model solutions!
If you find errors in the model solutions, test it yourself by running the code and please also email us.

To interpret the following older tests/exams that didn't use
UI and the
ecs100 library, the following changes will generally be sufficient:
- change
System.out.print... to UI.print...
- when reading input from the user, change
scan.next...() to UI.next...() and delete Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in)
- change
JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "prompt string") to UI.askString("prompt string")
- change
canvas.addMouseListener(this); to UI.setMouseListener(this);
- change
canvas.clear(); to UI.clearGraphics();
- change
canvas or this.canvas to UI (for all drawing commands)
- change
JButton ... = new JButton("...");
to
UI.addButton("...", this);
- change
actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
String button = e.getActionCommand();
to
buttonPerformed(String button){
- remove anything with
JFrame, frame, DrawingCanvas, Panel, JButton, addActionListener
