I passed every coding challenge at Flatiron School on the first try. Here’s how.
I just finished Flatiron School’s Software Engineering bootcamp, which I was fortunate to have completed during quarantine. Learning a new skill is so empowering and it was great to have something that took my mind off of the pandemic.
- Absolutely pay attention to the lectures! Everything they teach in lecture could be on the code challenge. Things they repeat will definitely be on the code challenge.
- It is ok not to do all the labs, but make sure you do all the code challenge practice labs. Pre-code challenge practice labs each mod are in the same format as the code challenge. The practice labs are generally harder, in fact a few of the practice labs are much harder than the code challenge. It is important to challenge yourself with the harder labs before the code challenge.
- Take a deep breath and remember you have all the time you need and if you run into something that slows you down the teachers will understand. As long as you can explain what you were trying to do and what errors stopped you, everything will be fine.
