Life is Beautiful Life is Great So many lovely Hobbies So many handsome Dreams BUT WE GOT EXAMS FOR GOODNESS SAKES!!!!!!! Hence I am starting a study support group, where we 1. Log how much we study 2. Take any practice exams 3. Take any REAL exams I'm taking cert exams for my job. Perhaps there are others who may be attending University. Please share your daily struggles and let's support each other. Let's help keep each other on track so we can succeed!!!!!!
Day 1 Studied around 6 am to 8 am. Procrastinated a lot. In affect I probably studied an hour. Studied around 7 pm to 8 pm. This time I was hyper-focused.
Helpful thread at a right time @SuiDhaaga I am also studying towards another certification to help at work. My target exam date is Nov last week roughly. I will update my progress every once in a while in this space to track myself.
Day 2 Morning 6:30 am to 7:30 am. Mind wandering, lot of distractions on websites. Evening: 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm. Intense focus (maybe cuz i realize this is last chance of day. Must replicate this discipline in the morning!) My cert exams requires theoretical and lab knowledge (which is code-heavy). Most challenging part is, one must be "proficient" at C# and Python, the code that does the work. So I'm tracing through the code, line-by-line to understand what it does. I cannot re-create from scratch (that's needed at some Open Hack conference), but I can learn to understand what the code is doing. I'm tackling the labs, i.e the coding first!
Day 3 Woke late, spent time taking pictures of the shiny building against the backdrop of the rising sun. Then I began morning study. 6:40 am to 7:40 am Python is more code-friendly to creating JSON objects than C# This Afternoon Distracted a lot, but some progress. Realized the helpfulness in creating an Excel chart that compares - C# vs Python - REST API vs SDK - reading credentials from config file vs reading credentials from remote location - etc
Day 4 6:40 am to 7: 40 am Uninterrupted study. I believe two different people wrote the C# and Python implementation of the cert study guide.
