My advice would be this.

You know the level of work you think you should study to in order to pass?

Do 3 times that.

We lost a good 1/3 of the class due to people not being able to cope with the math or coding syntax or random terms they didn't know.

If you think something might help, do it.
Learn python, read the AH course notes, make damn sure you understand syntax as in comp sci that is what they will pound into you constantly. Above all just be dedicated, this is a good thing to get and if you do well you can land a very good paying job right out of uni.

Good luck anon.

When I finally did under the impression that she was quite understanding & not so forceful over going out to busy places, the day after everyone in our year group was asking about it (since I hadn't really had the guts to ask anyone out before then, which was quite bad - can't remember exact year), most attention I ever got bar english class talks.
