How to prepare for admission to the IT-specialty: focus on the main

Purpose: Give students a clear plan of action and relieve anxiety before exams. There is a myth among high school students: to enroll in Software Engineering, you need to spend all your free time on courses in Python or C++. It's a classic survivor's mistake. In fact, your main entry into the IT world is a fundamental school base. What should I do in 10-11th grade? You will have to pass specialized mathematics, Russian language and subject of choice (computer science or physics). Physics and mathematics are not just lines in the certificate, they are simulators for your brain. In the development of complex systems, you regularly have to deal with algorithms, where you simply cannot do without a mathematical apparatus. Leave the frameworks for later Don’t try to learn advanced technology before university. The syntax of the language can be mastered in a couple of months, but analytical thinking is put for years. If you want to program in school, you need to solve algorithmic problems (for example, on platforms like LeetCode). This will teach you how to think about data structures. Your goal at the preparation stage is to get the maximum points of the exam and learn to learn. Everything else: from setting up servers to designing beautiful interfaces, you will be taught from scratch at the POAS department. Come ready to think, and we will give you the tools.
