Study plan
- Start with the topics that have the most tasks; they recur almost every session.
- Do one set of 8 tasks a day in the app; repetition brings the hard ones back.
- Two weeks before the exam: a mock exam with the real time limit and task count.
- Read the answer guidelines after every wrong answer: the points come from the structure.
