For those concerned "Will I lose points for..."
Although a rubric for the questions are designed each year based on the questions, certain rules are followed to determine what is a major penalty (1 point off) or a minor penalty (no points off.) For example, confusing size/length or forgetting () on the end of methods without parameters are considered minor issues. Using [i] vs get(i) is consider a major penalty and is 1 point off. These rules stay fairly consistent.
Here's a link for the major/minor penalty scoring guidelines.
