Dude! I had the same issue. Don’t retake it. I’m I. Algorithms right now and you’ll be okay.

Sign up for leetcode. They have lessons included on the Explore section.

First of all Abdul Bari is amazing!! I’m surviving in 325 because of him.

Take an Udemy course. I took this one. DSA loved it. His animations are amazing. I understood data structures much better with this course after 162.

261 is a lot of work and a lot of stress. I think you could spend under $60 on books and Udemy and save yourself the stress and get all the learning

Grokking algorithms about $15 Cracking the coding interview about $20 Udemy course about $15

Leetcode has a learn page that is really good, because you can focus on one topic at a time: https://leetcode.com/explore/learn/

The only problem with Leetcode Learn is that the example code is only available in C++ and Java, so you'd have to learn C++/Java syntax before you could do Leetcode Learn.

If you're just looking for something in Python, this course is recommend a lot: https://www.udemy.com/course/data-structures-algorithms-python/ (although personally I haven't done it yet)

Neither.

Andrei's Python course is decent in the beginning, but poorly explains and rushes through the advanced stuff. People have complained about it, but the TA's shrug it off by claiming that the course is more of a sampling of Python, even though it's labeled as "Zero to Mastery".

If you need the motivation, Angela's course is alright. But once again, her course doesn't do a great job at explaining how to refactor code or the more advanced OOP stuff.

My suggestion?

Beginner Python:

  1. Python 4 Everybody, either on Coursera, FreeCodeCamp, or on the website itself. (FREE)
  2. Python MOOC (FREE)
  3. Python3 Specialization on Coursera (FREE/PAID)
  4. GITX Python series on EdX (\~$550, pricey but worth the money. 100-200 hrs worth of material and practice, gave me a solid foundation in python). One of the few courses/certifications on EdX actually worth the money.

Intermediate - Advanced Python

  1. Fred Baptiste's Deep Dives on Udemy (there's 4 parts, I've only linked the first part!)

Data Structures & Algorithms:

  1. Scott Barret's Visual Python DS&A on Udemy
  2. Python DS3 on Runestone (FREE)

Feel free to ask me any questions. I have take A LOT of online courses, so I can guide you on which resources are worth your time and which ones to stay away from.
