You must preview what you have learned before each class, so that you can deepen your impression during class and facilitate Understand, you need to review after class. You need to spend 2 to 3 hours every day to read and study. There are also five process groups and ten knowledge areas that need to be memorized. Spend 10 minutes every day to read.
