At this point, all of the core material has been posted (manuals and lessons). I may publish a few more Review Notes and Exercises early this week. I will be available to answer your questions on the material.

It’s two weeks until the exam. At this point, you should be working on doing problems, working on speed. Working on clarifying your understanding of some of the material, and the subtleties of the calculations - but not spending too much time trying to learn the arcane details.
My goal taking exams was to master 80% of the material to score 80% of the points, and 20% of the material to score 50% of the points. This yields a score of 74 - plenty to pass. This means that 10-20% of the material you can get away with just knowing the basics.
I find that the more often I ‘touch’ a subject, the easier it is to recall later. This is why I find the review notes to be helpful in the last few weeks. You can go through the note, and think about the kinds of questions that could be asked - maybe even visualize what a problem you worked on looked like. The point is to create familiarity. The review note is dense enough to allow you to see a summary of an entire paper in just 10-30 minutes.
