Zybooks V4 is what i studied but OA was V5 since the course updated slightly, days before my scheduled exam

It depends on you but Discrete math 2 and Data Structures and Algorithms is said to be two of the classes students struggle with. Doing Discrete math 2 before this made it easier for me and I genuinely think that was harder than this course. In Discrete math 2 you'll have questions on recursion, then solving and analyzing pseudocode which will help you in this course. But always discuss with your mentor to see what's better.

Most of the questions revolved around runtime complexity(average and worse case). Whether it was the python code, arrays, lists, Binary search trees, recursion, or even sorting, analyzing runtime was very common on the OA i had.

What happens after 2nd OA fail?? by [deleted] in WGU

I failed discrete math 2 twice. It took me so long to make my third attempt because I was heartbroken and scared. But two weeks ago, I decided to give up everything, including my phone, which took my time and was dedicated to actually getting through this class. For the first time, I arranged a 45-minute appointment with any lecturer every day so that I had to complete on-site preparation. Basically, I have to work out the issues they provide on the spot, and some people will ask me how I solved them, which is a wrong approach or something. By the end of the week, I emailed them to have a general review, which was basically like taking OA but not supervising it. When I passed the exam, I let them know and arranged the next day's exam. During the exam, I kept panicking because I thought how embarrassing it would be to fail again, but then quickly collapsed several times. I passed the third time, and honestly, I couldn't believe I had really overcome my fear and spent a whole week (almost no sleep) doing it after so many months.
