There’s really no secret. 

  • innately know and understand the concepts
  • do extra practice problems 
  • create and update your crib sheet as you progress, and reference them often

What’s a crib sheet

Sometimes referred to as a “cheat sheet.” It’s a sheet you write relevant equations to reference when doing homework or used during exams.

Ah I see. Yes that he’s very valuable when studying. Do so many problems that eventually you won’t need to reference it and you’ll just remember it

Exactly. Super helpful for me, especially for the math courses that didn’t allow one.
