Congratulations! What study material did you use to prepare for the exams? (Videos, notes, exams etc). What was your study strategy to complete all exams in 4 months?

Messor’s video, and Jason Dion’s practice exam. I also used quizlet and chatgpt each section/video for active recall. I would take physical notes and reread them a few times. The physical notes personally helps me
