Self Study

Preparation # I started preparing in January and took the exam in mid-March. So it took me about two months in total, with a few interruptions. I spent about an hour a day during the week and two hours at weekends. Some weeks I did nothing at all – but I didn’t let that stress me out. My technical background allowed me to repeat familiar content instead of starting from scratch. Nevertheless, the exam was no walk in the park. It was crucial that I identified my weaknesses early on and worked on them systematically. I focussed on continuity rather than perfectionism – it was okay to skip a chapter from time to time.
