Study faster
Get through the reading list before the exam.
Studying takes too long because you reread. Read each section once at a pace that holds your attention, quiz yourself straight away, and reread only what you missed. Redline does the first two for you, so the hours you spend go to the parts you do not know yet.
Why it happens
Rereading feels like work
It is the slowest way to learn a page and the most common.
Everything gets equal time
The part you know and the part you do not get the same hour.
No test until the test
The exam is the first time anyone asks. That is too late to find the gaps.
The fix
Preview the headings and the questions at the end.
Read the section once in Redline and take the quiz.
Reread only the misses. Then follow the 30-day plan.
