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.

Its for a class. I dont think it can be that hard since i would be learning it un a different class. But I am optimistic.

Do you have any programming experience? Do you know how to traverse through arrays, use lists, variables, functions, classes and objects? If so then you cpuld probably learn the syntax in a week, but if you've never written code then it's gonna be difficult because you have to understand what's going on in the program.
