For anyone preparing for the OA. It was really not bad. Just familiarize yourself with the practice test questions. The OA does have a terminal built in to execute and debug your code(thank goodness!)
Thank you for this, I feel so much more confident about it. I'm taking mine on Monday. For me it's methods in general. I can read them and determine output but when it comes to writing them I choke.
It does provide feedback on errors when you run the code in the Zybooks terminal. Each question will have its own terminal to run the code for that question. But the OA won't prompt with feedback for each question, it will simply ask if you're sure you'd like to submit the exam. The OA is proctored.
@@donaldazevedo5554 you got it! I recommend going through the practice assessment a few times to get a feel for what sorts of syntax you'll need to know.
@@raba650 Exactly like that. Btw, if you're looking for motivation, I finished the program a few months ago and I am now working as a full-stack developer with essentially double my prior salary! Good luck.
Hi. I will be taking the exam on Monday. On the exam did you have to import the packages? And were there comments on the exam to guide you like it is on the pre-assessment?
it is exciting to see the comments from other students on your videos
@@Zzz-hr5mo thanks for sharing! I'm glad we've built our own supportive community.

@@queenkrool glad I could help! Good luck on it!
Thanks Daniel you're awesome!
@@OEFTF11 aw thanks glad to help!
Does the OA provide any feedback on syntax errors prior to submission?
Is it proctored?

@@daniel.gallegos Oh man! I better make sure not to miss any ; or accidently do lowercase: getname() vs getName().

So just to get this clear, will the OA have a terminal to test your work like the zyBooks practice tests have?

@S.D.L-z6u when I took it you didn't need to import any packages and there were some comments to direct where to put your code. Good luck!
@@daniel.gallegos yes. It was indeed imported and commented. Thank you.
@@S.D.L-z6u awesome!
