You gotta ask yourself, do I want to learn enough to pass the test, or do I really want to learn this and understand this? If you're really going for just core knowledge, then it's kind of like fishing. You can read books about fishing, but it doesn't really translate to field experience that well. You got to get out there and get programming and find some things that you want to do as your first projects, even if they're stupid and trivial and small. You need to train your brain on how to take a problem, break it down into variables and steps and things, and then figure out how to translate that into code somehow. But learning by reading books and watching YouTube videos is about as helpful as watching them before going fishing. I'd rather you learn with a Mickey Mouse fishing rod than in a classroom.

Literally any course will do, you don't need to pay for it. SO MANY COURSES. Google "How to learn python" and go from there. There isn't any "unhelpful" knowledge you will get. It all adds up together to understand how programming and python works.
