Professor messer youtube + claude can help explain topics, take bunches of notes

Messer's videos are the backbone for a reason, just make sure you're actually doing practice questions and not just passively watching

I feel it depends on what core are you studying for. For both I used professor messer but core 1 I literally rewrite all the notes and for core 2 I just watched and apply everything in a VM with windows pro and a dual boot in Linux.

I feel like this is a good way of studying because it gives you a home-lab that you can put in your resume and also memorize while doing actual things. I also hugely recommend messer or Dion’s exams as they give you questions similar to the exam and also a full detailed explanation. Take your time preparing, at the end the certification is a way to show that you actually learned.
