 In many ways, TDD is much more productive than writing code without tests. If we didn't have the test for the adding function above, we would have to run the code ourselves over and over, plugging in different numbers until we were sure that it was working... not a big deal for a basic `add(2, 2)`, but imagine having to do that for more complicated functions, like checking whether or not someone has won a game of tic tac toe: \(`game_win(["o", null,"x",null,"x",null,"x", "o", "o"])`). If you didn't do TDD, then you might actually have to play multiple games against yourself just to test if the function was working correctly!
 
-We will teach you the art of actually writing these tests later in the course. The following practice has the tests already written out for you. All you have to do is set up the testing environment, read the specs, and write the code that makes them pass!

-1. Go and review the [README of our `javascript-exercises` repository](https://github.com/TheOdinProject/javascript-exercises#readme) to set up your local environment. Once you have cloned the repository and installed Jest, review each README file prior to completing the following exercises in order:
-    - `01_helloWorld` (This exercise is intentionally very beginner friendly to ensure that you have set up everything properly!)
-    - `02_repeatString`
-    - `03_reverseString`
-    - `04_removeFromArray`
-    - `05_sumAll`
-    - `06_leapYears`
-    - `07_tempConversion`
+1. If you already completed our [Installing Node.js lesson](https://www.theodinproject.com/lessons/foundations-installing-node-js), you may move on to the next step!
+
+    Otherwise, do the following in order:
+
+    - Complete the [Installing Node.js lesson](https://www.theodinproject.com/lessons/foundations-installing-node-js)
+    - Follow the [instructions in the README of our `javascript-exercises` repository](https://github.com/TheOdinProject/javascript-exercises#how-to-use-these-exercises) to set up your local environment. You should have forked the repository, cloned it and installed Jest.
+    - From the [JavaScript exercises repository](https://github.com/TheOdinProject/javascript-exercises), review the README file prior to completing the exercise `01_helloWorld`
+
+1. Go back to the [JavaScript exercises repository](https://github.com/TheOdinProject/javascript-exercises) that we introduced in the [Data Types and Conditionals](https://www.theodinproject.com/lessons/foundations-data-types-and-conditionals) assignment. Review each README file prior to completing the following exercises in order:
+    - `06_repeatString`
+    - `07_reverseString`
+    - `08_removeFromArray`
+    - `09_sumAll`
+    - `10_leapYears`
+    - `11_tempConversion`

+To give you a good bit of practice, we have created JavaScript exercises for you to play with. They contain tests that are used to make sure that your code works like it is supposed to. Anywhere you see `return`, it just means that when the function finishes running, it will spit back whatever comes after `return`. In future lessons, we will go into much further detail regarding these concepts, so just hang in there for now!

-
-Replit now limits free accounts to having 3 repls at a time. If you reach the limit of 3 repls, you can delete one or more of the previous forks to create a room for the new one. To do so, go to [your repls](https://replit.com/repls) and delete what you no longer need.

-Replit recently introduced an AI assistant, which is on by default. Before trying any of the exercises, you should first disable it, in order to prevent it from spoiling the exercise. You can do so by clicking on the button labeled AI in the bottom left corner of the code view and then unchecking the "Enable" checkbox.
