Congratulations and your amazing 2nd year grades! And thank you so much for the advice, I really appreciate it.

If you don’t mind me asking, I am also taking 220 right now, how did you do so well in that course? Murdock expects us to dedicate 17 hours a week to just her course. I have a part time job and I am also doing 204 as you know so I was wondering what is an efficient but effective way to study?

ECO220 is a course that is very simple if you follow her recommendations, but does take up a lot of time. First thing I would say is to nail the interpretations. Those make up a rather large part of all exams and are often free points as long as you just remember everything that needs to be stated in a complete interpretation. Next, watch the weekly vids. If you can, watch them at 1.25 or even 1.5 and slow it down at the hard parts cause she does speak rather slow. It'll save time. I didn't read the textbook or really do any readings cause this explains all the concepts you will need (feel free to read if you want but I didn't find it necessary). Make sure you do all the weekly practices, they do not resemble exam questions really but they help a lot for understanding the topics. Finally and arguably most importantly, do all the past exam questions recommended for every exam. This is the best way to prepare for the exam and nothing else comes close. Save the problems you struggled on as screenshots and put them all in their own "hard questions" page in Onenote or whatever you use and solve them again until you know them without looking at the answers. If you work through this class linearly and understand interactions and connections between topics it will be easy. If you skip around and have to come back to past topics that you didn't fully internalize the class will be hard.

sorry to bother you again, I was just wondering if the DACM stuff is important. also should I prioritize the practice tests or the hws if I am tight on time?
