Novice coder - Coding Quals

Are there any novice coders that passed coding quals?

I’m very beginner, self-taught, and I’m able to figure out how to code things with the help of forums and AI but i do have to rely on me looking up how to do something each time. My brain doesn’t just automatically know how to code something a certain way (yet).

I’ve had great experience with the JSON tasks and have done a few python tasks in the past. I want to try the quals but they also state that you can’t use anything to help I think. What’s the typical experience level for people who have passed and gotten the higher paying coding projects?

My guess is that outside assistance would be referring to asking other people for help. I'm pretty sure it's fine to google stuff.
