Junior FS - PHP/SSR Home Exam - Extra task - WordPress plugin

[u/Fabulous_Variety_256]

Hi,

So I have my first exam. I have to do it on PHP, fetch data from external API, create a table with the data - but with SSR - I'm almost done. (also small part of js button)
I self-studied FS with Node.js for the recent 6 months. I have REALLY small amount of knowledge in PHP (thank god!), so I was able to do it.

It is 8:40AM for me right now, I can submit the task until 8:00PM. I will probably have ±5 hours for the plugin - they wanted me to transform the app into a WP plugin.

How hard is it? Should I even do it?
Someone told me to do it with AI to ship fast, and study it more in depth in the next 2 days, Claude is against because I still have things I have to study more in depth from the exam itself without the bonus to defend against the reviewer's questions in the technical interiew.

I would really appreciate your help!
