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.

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.
