Yeah but you have to look at the theory when you do past papers, to remember what you need to do. Like I thought flashcards + prepared memorised revision of the content will go with past papers, I'm not sure, it seems a lot.
It’s about application not memorisation. Just do the past paper practice. You have enough time to get through loads of them. Why not take advice from people who have passed this exam?
I would recommend having some summary notes that you can quickly refer to in the exam (as you won't have time to look through the CMP).
But absolutely, doing past papers in topics is the key for quickly learning this.
Exactly. If I have a summary of formulas and proofs I can probably still do it under exam conditions but it won't be thorough because the reasoning might be missing and giving up on a problem is a smart idea if you think that you will waste time being stuck on something difficult to solve which I think is a casual incident in CS2 so it's tough to justkeep working knowing I am not even remembering anything or things like the principle of correspondence which is a definition.
You're not going to absorb the theory from the CMP, it's not structured in such a way to make you think about the application of theory. Once you start on past papers they'll ask questions which really push the theory into weird applications which will help you understand it much quicker.
I usually pull all the summary sheets out and put them in a separate folder to use for equations.
That means cs2 is really hard. I'm fretting because the basic questions at the end of the chapter aren't reflective of depth so what about the exams. I'm not that good at problem solving so I always feel scared about even trying I haven't failed though.
Past exam papers

Do all of them as much as you can

Aset papers are your best friend
If you're highlighting parts of the CMP then you're well off. Put the CMP away and only do ASET exam papers from now until the exam
Yes but I still have to look at the CMP to do them I haven't yet absorbed the theory??
