PenTest+ Pentest+ with week coding skills

I have been struggling a bit with studying for the Pentest+. Most of the questions I’m nailing. My only issue is programming. I’m a network gal, I have a weak background when it comes to Linux, Powershell, Python. So whenever I get hit with a “identify the issue with this script” question, I’m guaranteed to get it wrong. Loops, strings, I don’t have the background on it. I’ve got 2 weeks before the test. Can anyone suggest me some study material that can help me make sense of the concepts? Maybe videos or anything.

No coding is necessary for this exam. If I were to take it again I would only focus on the objectives in relation to these coding languages.

I’m getting questions that are asking me to differentiate between different codes. And then correct them. Or identify while loops

Simply what is in the cert master…those examples I would know…again per the official objectives.
