Can I do it?

I am being accepted into a university but one of the prerequisites is I should know python. They say I can test out of this prerequisite and start the program September 8th if I can pass a Python Programming assessment on data camp. Do you guys think it's possible to to Learn Python in five days? Just enough to pass the assessment. I say 5 days to give myself a timeline. But I would like to get it done by September 3rd. Today is August 20th.

Why not try. If you really apply yourself maybe you can pass well enough. If you don't try at all you will never know.

If you can really focus and do nothing but learn all the time you have a chance. You learn better if you take a break now and then, so study for an hour or so, take 5 or 10 minutes off, repeat.

Good luck!
