Revision and Rest
The Big Idea
Sprint 6 is about consolidation, not new content. You will spend around 20 hours reviewing the JavaScript skills that come up every day in Bootcamp — then step away and rest. Walking into Bootcamp well-rested and confident with the fundamentals will serve you better than pushing through exhaustion.
Your Roadmap
| Section | Time | Required? |
|---|---|---|
| Competency checklist | 30 min | ⚑ Required |
| Plan your 20 hours | 20 hrs total | ⚑ Required |
Competency Checklist
Your reflections repo includes a competency checklist covering the topics from Foundations. Start there — it will show you where to focus your time.
Aim to feel confident with these JavaScript skills before Bootcamp starts:
| Skill | What it looks like in practice |
|---|---|
function | Defining a function, calling it, understanding what it returns |
| Arrow functions | Writing const greet = (name) => ... as an alternative syntax |
variables | Using const and let correctly |
objects | Creating an object, reading and updating its properties |
arrays | Creating an array, accessing items, adding and removing items |
if/else | Writing conditionals that branch based on a condition |
| Operators | Using ===, !, &&, \|\| correctly |
for loops | Writing a loop that runs a set number of times |
| Array methods | Using .map(), .filter(), .find(), .forEach() to work with arrays |
These come up constantly in Bootcamp. The less you need to look them up, the more mental energy you can spend on new concepts.
Plan Your 20 Hours
What your 20 hours looks like depends on where you are right now.
If you want to feel more solid on the fundamentals:
Work through the competency checklist. For each skill you feel shaky on, go back to the relevant sprint content or try writing a small example from scratch without looking at your notes.
If you are feeling confident with the fundamentals:
Go further if you want to:
- ◎ Start a personal project — see the Personal Project page
- ◎ Work through stretch exercises — build a calculator, minesweeper, or explore JavaScript further
The Big Idea (revisited)
This sprint is not about learning something new — it is about making what you already know feel solid. Twenty hours of focused revision and genuine rest will set you up better than cramming. You have done the work. Trust it.
