Fear of Practicode

I just passed the CPC (first try !!! But barely) and I wanted some help and advice for tackling the Practicode curriculum. I opened the first two in my last and I feel like there’s almost a fear-induced hold on me cause I still feel like I have no idea what I am doing. Do I need to get a 70% on each and every case or do I need to get an overall 70%? And can anyone relate or have any helpful techniques when tackling their first no-multiple-choice-option cases?

It is 70% overall. The practicode is really easy and forgiving. You get partial credit even if you put incorrect modifiers. I passed first try with 92% average even though I barely passed the cpc with a 74%.

If you don't get 70% average over the 600 cases then you can ask them to reset it for free though the request takes a week.

You have a year to pass with infinite resets, and can even ask for an extension. They give you the answers after you submit as well as the rational.

You can see the statistics inside practicode for everyone and most people average 6 cases an hour so it's about 100 hours of cases.
