Tip #2: Make revision sheets that summarize all the knowledge

Tip #2: Make revision sheets that summarize all the knowledge

Now you have to learn! We don't really have a choice if we want to pass the exam.  So, faced with this mass of information to record, I advise you to make revision sheets.

What is a revision sheet? 
It's an organized summary of knowledge.
So, it's not about copying the whole course. It's about selecting, synthesizing, dividing and organizing the elements of the course.

OK, I won't hide the fact that it takes a lot of time and that you will exceed the quota of hours of personal work announced (it took me more than 30 hours to do mine). 

BUT, it is a tool that will make you learn more efficiently. 🤓
