Resource Guide for Prework

We’re excited to see your application for CodePath's courses. This guide is to help you take the next step toward joining the CodePath community.

Your next step is to complete your Prework Task, which includes either a small project or completing a HackerRank assessment, depending on which course you applied for. These assignments are designed to give you a feel for the course and help us confirm your readiness for admission.
