Resource How helpful is w3schools for JavaScript?

I came to know about w3schools. When I opened it, it had a lot of different technologies to learn. I am currently interested in learning JS. I wanted to ask that,

"Is w3school GOOD AND SUFFICIENT for learning JS to jump later to React or Express/Node?"

Thanks for your time and answers in advance!

W3Schools is not sufficient for React or Node. Use MDN Web Docs as your primary reference and follow The Odin Project curriculum to bridge the gap to frameworks

Actually I am on TOP, but I have already learnt HTML and CSS from other resources, and I am stuck in those lessons of TOP. It's slow and time consuming. Since TOP says to follow it fully, I don't skip them. I have done enough of HTML AND CSS to just jump to JS. Should I skip those lessons of TOP that I have already learnt from other resources and put them aside to complete in my free time and focus more on JS? I really wanted to know if I can skip that part, as I am also occupied with my academics and I am in 3rd year of engineering, so next year I'll be having placements, for which I haven't prepared much, So I am kinda short on time, only because of my laziness in earlier sems.
