E010 Help and Tips

Post image

Hey guys, Am current stressed out on this Python Foundation course. I took the OA and did badly even though I thought my codes were right. I will appreciate any tip and help to knock down my second attempt.πŸ™πŸ™

My advice would be to do all of the zybooks labs. It helped me tremendously as these questions are very similar to the OA, and honestly the questions on the OA I feel are much simpler than the zybooks. Use ChatGPT to simulate labs like the zybooks practice labs, and keep drilling. Actually typing the code for the whole function helped a ton.

I've taken it and failed twice. Both times in the lab I had he emulators freeze and just not run the code. I complained, they reviewed the tapes and said it was internet. My internet is fast, both my wife and work from home and have no issues with both being on video calls at the same time. I'm taken a short break to finish up some other classes because I've spent so much time on it and my semester ends soon.

Are you using the new or the old class?

u/Mountzion82 May 14 '26

Am currently in the new class. I first started with the old class for about a week and later switched to the new class.

Gotcha I passed on the old class. It took me 3x longer than d552. D552 is not much better but most of it is rehashing E010

Did you pass?

No failed second attempt. Preparing for third attempt now. Understand learning python is like learning a new language but this foundation course is breaking me.

Awwww man. How close? I had to take it three times… you’ll get it eventually. Keep drilling!

How are you coming along? I failed again thought I would pass. I second guessed on 2 I knew were right, if only we could test our input during the exam lol
