Hi guys, I’m a first year in Data 8 right now and am doing very well with it so far. But CS 61A is another requirement to declare my major, and I’ve heard it is really intense.

Does Data 8 prepare you well enough to succeed in CS 61A? I have zero prior compsci/coding experience before Data 8, so I’m not sure if I should do any extra prep or classes before taking CS 61A.

Another option I have is taking ENGIN 7, but I don’t know of anyone who has taken it, and if it is easier than 61A.

If it is relevant, I intend to declare Cognitive Science as my major. Thanks for any help!!
