My learning process:
It took about 10 days from the start of learning to the exam, which was quite rushed, so I watched many videos at double speed.

Watched the videos at 1.75x speed for the first time, understanding some basic principles (this process was the most painful);
Did the after-class exercises for the second time (discovered many blind spots);
Read Mr. Zhang Yulong’s articles twice (the key points are well summarized, some courses do not have summaries, so you need to watch the videos yourself), supplemented my memory, and deepened my understanding of some key parameters; I planned to go through the mind map again, but it was too large and got stuck.
Watched the videos at 1x speed quickly three hours before the exam (sharpening the knife before the battle).
During the exam, marked the uncertain questions and focused on solving them after finishing the rest.

Key points: principles of various components, parameters, problem diagnosis, database query optimization, and statistical information, etc.

I will study more for the next exam. I hope I pass this time.
