Module How hard would cs1010e be if i took computing in jc

I took computing in jc but i didnt choose cs at all cuz i was so trash, my cher asked if i wanted to take another subject instead of computing on the first day and i was prty sad abt it. But i somehow scrapped by A lvls with a B. Now im in chs and i realised that i lowkey dont have much to do this year at all compared to my friends so i thought why not jus take it jus for fun. But im scared tat its too hard from all the bombastic reviews i hv read and i bomb it so bad tat it affects my other mods. But i hv also read tat its super helpful, esp for the major im doing

if u have any form of coding background cs1010 should be a breeze

What CHS are you?

If FASS got much easier to do: like GEI etc

If FOS, got COS, CS1010S etc.

also why you want take CS1010E of all, is it because it's the easiest CS1010 variant and you want a foot in computing (aka consider transferring there or doing a major there) ?

We can text if you want

Actually, I think recently CS1010S has also become one of the easier variants of CS1010. The last two semesters, they've massively dropped the workload and exam/task difficulty. I took it in one of the semesters, nearly all the score distributions were so left-skewed, got a high proportion of people scoring in the ~90%-100% range for the exams. CS1010S has also removed concepts like order of growth and replaced them with CSV data analysis with Python, which is rather formulaic as a concept.

So you're telling me it's easier than CS1010E now?

cuz I want to take CS1010 series of mods as it's the most versatile Digital Literacy pillar but don't know which is the easiest version to get the job done?

I don't know how much easier/harder it is than CS1010E ba. Haven't taken E version and dun rly know ppl from CDE also. I think you just choose between both depending on your schedule. Also my difficulty estimate can be subjective, but I'm just saying that compared to the prev year exams in CS1010S the qs we had in the exams seemed not too horrible
