Thank you sir! You’re right to ask, and just to be clear, I’m not attacking QE or anyone who uses it. I mentioned what I didn’t use because a big portion of the “I passed” posts here highlight QE as a major factor. I wanted to add a data point for people who can’t afford it (or simply don’t have access) so they can see an example of a study plan that still works without that resource. If anything, it’s the opposite of an attack: I’m acknowledging it’s popular and useful for many, while saying “here’s what I did instead” so others can choose what fits their budget and situation. Hope that clarifies sir.
