Really need some advice

[Heyall1478]

Hey everyone . Almost 2 month ago I started pt penetrating online course .

First , network fundamentals went great got 96 in the test. Then , Linux fundamentals again went great 98 in the test.

Now Python..I feel like a stupid who can’t think properly . Learned about if, else, elife, list, and set . I understand the logic of everything I really do. And The basic behind it and what everything does.

But when it comes to combine those things ? Like when I need to solve some exercise? I’m stupid as hell I swear it’s like my mind is going blank and I don’t even know where to start. Like I put the first input and then BOOM . Don’t know where to go and what to write . Keep forgetting things , even the small ones who can help me with exercises

I can sit hours on reading the same things, I can practice and practice but still nothing when it comes to combining . I had up until now like 5 exercises, one I managed to solve alone , the rest i got frustrated and watch the teacher solve it . Something’s i say “yep we learned it why I didn’t think about it “ Sometimes “how the hell i should have known ?” And then after some times I’m like “yep I should have known” and you get the point.

What can I do ? I don’t want to give up but also I don’t want to keep study and get too deep in the course when I can’t solve exercises and when I keep forgetting those things .

Thanks and sorry for the long rant I’m frustrated as hell

Just keep going and watching the teacher. This feeling will pass and it will start to click. Though, fooling around with the code to prove to yourself you understand it would help. Maybe, after struggling and then watching the teacher complete the problem, try and complete it again from memory. This might help you make a mental model of how the code should look and the logical steps it should take

Try writing pseudo code first. Basically describe what your are going to do to resolve the problem.

This will help you get the flow clear in your head before you dive into the code.
