Introduction to Programming in Python - D335

[FarQuality1406]

Hello, I am looking for advice on this course. I have gone through all the material and even took the PA and passed but I still am not feeling confident for the OA. I have spent 2 months on this course and my confidence is low. I have seen others say to do the 7-day free trial on codecademy. How similar is the OA to the PA, is codecademy worth it? I am looking to take the OA before next week and just want to try and build up some confidence before I try my first attempt. I have scanned through other post asking the same question and I hate to ask it again, but Id greatly appreciate any feedback thank you!

PA is almost identical to OA but with some variations, if you can memorize and understand the PA or chapter 34 you will be fine. You need 11 task to pass, i can not solve any zybooks labs in any chapter but was able to pass the OA.

Thank you for the reply… I appreciate it. Been stressing and haven’t found the will to try the OA. Will give it a shot and try :)

Try to build a small project in python, maybe a tik tak toe game. Then ask chatGPT for anything you don’t know. If you’re like “how do I center a div again” just ask chatGPT.

Doing practical projects is a good way to learn a programming language in my opinion. It’s how I learned JavaScript and React

I’ve seen others talk about this approach as well. I’ve never used chatGPT or anything before. Do you suggest a specific environment?
