Tips that make the plan work
- Read every explanation, even when you get a question right. The “why the others don’t fit” part is where most of the learning happens.
- Keep the same browser. Your progress is saved there, with no account needed.
- Behind schedule? Skip ahead to the timed exams on day 12 anyway. They’ll show you what to focus on.
