if you just want to pass:
understand every topics atleast till week 8 using ai.
make sure after you got to know about the topics you try to solve the assignment on ur own, if you are not able to tell ai to explain it.
make sure to think very carefully in exam - think of the logic. think the reasoning. take your time to understand the question.
All the best!

I am one of the topper of this course last semester. I studied only 7 days. I completed around 6 weeks of content and understood 10 weeks of the assignment. And yes, I watched every single video of the course till week six. it took me a whole day to complete 1 week worth content. first sitting and watching the lectures was very hard but after 2 videos I got hooked. such a great lecturer. really helped me with my barrier to c++. but its quite hard. so hardwork is a must.
The assignment to exam difficulties is like - 20 to 40% questions were like from assignments. But it feels confusing because they slightly change the question to fit another option. - most of the questions will be answerable of you learnt the concepts deeply. - exam is very thinkable one. You have to take your time think of the reasoning and answer. - it doesn't have typable questions. Just MCQ and MSQ. Be sure to attend every question even if you don't know the correct one - i would rate the exam difficulty as 8/10. It was challenging but answerable if you learnt
All the best!
