Studying advice - using STC
Hi all! I am studying for the 65 currently and need to get my exam scheduled. I am through chapter 9/15 with STC and am hitting a wall of not feeling like I am studying well and trying not to freak out. STC has plenty of resources and I feel like I am grasping everything so far but maybe just feeling burnt out? I also am concerned about retaining this amount of material.
I work 40 hours a week for an IA so I see a lot of this stuff day to day which helps, and I have a finance degree. So I feel like this should be relatively easy for me? My concern is the volume of the material and making sure I am studying well. I only study outside of work which currently looks like about 14 hours a week. Is this enough? I have been studying for 4 weeks now and think I will take the test in about 4-6 weeks. My current approach is watch the lecture & take notes, read (skim) textbook and take notes on anything not mentioned in the lecture, use flash cards, take practice quiz, use chat gpt to help me understand flash cards & quiz questions I got wrong, and then move on if I score above 70% on a chapter quiz. I typically score 80%+ on first attempt of my chapter quizzes. Is this a good approach? I also have a virtual live class with STC coming up in 2 weeks to review everything. Thanks in advance for any insight!!
