Blackrock Spring Week Help

I'm in the summer break before I start university. A spring internship is open for application, for people graduating in 2028 (I am eligible for this). 

The application process asks the results I've gotten in university (for example First class), when I have not started yet (I start in September). It also requires a coding assessment in C++, which was a bit surprising, as we are expected to know C++ before starting university?

I will learn it anyway but, I didn't expect they required A level students who have finished year 13 to code in a particular language for their assessment. 

Any other advice is welcome - thank you for your time.

Hi. The coding test is a requirement if you apply to any of the Technology functions (Data Analytics and Modelling is one of them). I might apply to Investments functions only for this spring week, Not sure If I can reach a reliable level in C++ very soon.
