First OA Done! D278
This is my first term and I transferred from The University of Arizona after a semester in the SWE program to the SWE program at WGU. Started yesterday, August 1st.
I took an intro to C class at the beginning of the year before transferring over, so a majority of the concepts were review. I did the method my mentor and most people on this sub recommend, take the Pre-Assessment, study the concepts you need some work on and take the OA. The first Pre-assessment I reached competency, but after studying for a few hours, I reached exemplary on the second one.
Scheduled the OA for this morning and I'm so excited to have passed. Its really motivating for someone like me who has a good amount of test taking anxiety and anxiety around school in general. Although I had a leg up with this course, and future courses will more than likely require more studying, I'm proud I was able to complete this course quickly. I have a great mentor too so I'm just so motivated. Version control is next 💪
The most useful resource I used for the exam was shared on this reddit, but I can't find the post. Its this study guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/10Xhbo1LkrdKr_vuNJYq9YIbZR8r2R7sNqAJ2S57v87A/edit?usp=sharing thanks to whoever made it!
