i meant more specific about the frequency of repeating the material. never got down the timing right for myself and often i find that repeating is so boring and exhausting compared to learning for the first time.

my issue is that i don't have that many practice questions, i basically gotta scavenge for them but i'll try harder to acquire a better source of them because i feel like that's the best option at least for me.

never liked pomodore technique. the work segments are too short and the break is too little to make a difference it just destroys my flow. i feel like 1 hour/15 minutes is the sweet spot.

thanks for the advice i appreciate it.

yep. i mean you can guess on the exam itself since it's multiple choice if you eliminate some choices statistically it's the more logical choice but when practicing as you said you gotta mark yourself very harshly.

i exam well (hopefully). have done similar exams in the past and it turned out well.

unfortunately it's too many topics for me to work through in just 6 months so i gotta cut some losses, also goes for repeating. if you can be more specific i would be glad but otherwise thanks for the advice.

thanks for the recommendation will read it when i got the time.

 

for more context: i have to take an exam in 6 months or so. this exam covers around 16 college courses (mostly math and computer science related), has around 120 4-choice questions and 4 hour time to answer, so a little over 2 minutes per question. the questions are around half split between problem solving and memorizing.

for a few of the subjects i probably already know most of their content, and a couple i couldn't understand from the start but the majority of them were ones that i've studied at some point but have forgotten now.

so my question is how the hell can i prepare myself as best as i can in the little time i got? what i need are some resources to help me plan my study sessions and how i would go about studying, and also how to take mock exams from myself. any other tip is also appreciated.

i have no strong feelings towards cabbages, however since my pfp used to be a cabbage the internet demanded i must state my position on the "cabbage question".
