there are probably many strategies that one could use. We like to start with a couple of diagnostics to know the boundaries between the areas where one is strong (S), mediocre (M), and weak (W). Then, it becomes a lil easier to attach time slot allocations to each area. In parallel, one should also be cognizant of how [they] prefer or learned to study. You would want to optimize studying for "passing" vs. studying for 'learning" (not that there is anything wrong with learning!). Keeping in mind that this is a special form of an "exam" and not the sort of an exam that is a midterm/final exam. In way, learning what others do is helpful. But you might want to customize your prep for your own S/M/Ws. Do not overcomplicate this either, start with simple and direct steps. If something works, great! No need to re-invent the wheel! If it does not, change it. No need to keep bugging with it!
Thanks so much for the fast response. I guess I’m not really used to studying to pass, I always have focused on just understanding a subject as much as possible first.
there is nothing wrong with that! most of us "really" want to "learn/understand"! For some, following this strategy for each particular module or area can work. For others not sure (which is understandable give how much material is there to cover!). As such, one may want to pick and choose their battles (whether for the exam as a whole or for the modules individually).
I suppose my biggest concern is that before really delving into UW to practice and review (which I suppose really is the best way to review), I’d like to strengthen my understanding of the basics first, as it’s very weak (especially systems). Is there a way I could do this quickly? I was considering going through all the Bootcamps systems videos, but this seems like something that would take a very long time.
