A few weeks before my online exam, I made a long study schedule and felt really confident about it. The problem was that I spent more time planning than actually studying. When I finally started reviewing the material, I realized I was behind on several topics. During my search for study advice, I even came across discussions where students would say take my exam because they felt unprepared. That made me realize I needed to focus on improving my own preparation. I started studying a little every day, completed practice questions, and slowly caught up with my coursework. In the end, I felt much more ready for the exam.
