@chungquantin I suggest having a repo for the PBA exam for the contributors. From my understanding, the exam should be done by an individual. And the lowlevels's agenda is to support SEA developers. So maybe to have a repo as a collection of the answers from the community members.

So it's gonna be like:

• a repo on lowlevels org that has a README.md as the list of the individual contributor.
• Participant who wants to work on the PBA can fork and put their name on the README.md file. Create a new folder inside the repo in the format pba-qualifier-exam-ippo for example.
• The participant creates a PR, and a mentor can help to review and merge if all the answers are correct.

hey @NTP-996, that sounds like a great idea. We could do that. But I think we must come up with a mock qualification exam based on the official one https://github.com/Polkadot-Blockchain-Academy/pba-qualifier-exam/tree/main/src first. It is mentioned in the honor code of the repo to not public the answer publicly so I am still thinking the best way to organize this one. Any other suggestion?

[NTP-996]

@chungquantin The code of honor only mentioned that we don't copy other answers. I think it's okay if we want to publicize it or not.

has_honor(&multiple_choice_closed_book);
has_honor(&exam_done_independently);
has_honor(&multiple_choice_no_run);
has_honor(&coding_no_copy);
has_honor(&coding_no_external_deps);
has_honor(&coding_no_ai_helpers);

@NTP-996 I see. So maybe building a mock qualification exam is unnecessary.

My plan for this module is:

• Writing a few articles covering topics mentioned in the qualification exam like Type safe pattern design in Rust or Macro and then the end of the module will be the qualification exam.

• The main purpose is to give the audience a clear instruction on how they can solve the issues not finding the solution.

Let me double-check with the Polkadot team about this if we can publicize the answers (or maybe just between members of the community)
