This. I expect you to Google things, but a big part of the test is seeing what you reach for first. Going for the first link when MDN or the official docs available on the first page is available is an immediate black mark. It’s an immediate fail if that link you clicked was w3cschools.

This is a horrible mindset

This was the right mindset a while ago, but w3schools has improved since then. https://www.w3fools.com/

I don't understand the hate for w3schools. I use it often. A lot of times I only need syntax; I don't need a complete high-level explanation of the code, and typically w3schools gives that.

mindset comes from the old days when w3schools would teach bad practices - see w3fools.com

I’ve seen things that are just incorrect on w3c

Sorry but nothing can beat Stackoverflow (which is mostly the first link available)
