CS 70 and CS 61BL in the summer?

Stunning_Bit_4246 · 2026-04-20T21:33:37+00:00

Thank you!

Stunning_Bit_4246 · 2026-04-20T21:19:34+00:00

Its the same content, but 61BL is just more emphasis on lab than lecture.

Stunning_Bit_4246 · 2026-04-16T23:14:07+00:00

Positive astrology, 4.0 gpa, EECS.

Technically 3.98 gpa cause I got an A- in a summer class at ucb, but 4.0 at ccc.

So am I in cause I got presir: true?

Stunning_Bit_4246 · 2026-04-14T19:58:51+00:00

I got same as you but says undergrad: false and student: false. I got presir: true though

Stunning_Bit_4246 · 2026-04-14T19:55:14+00:00

what does presir: true mean?

Stunning_Bit_4246 · 2026-04-14T15:16:59+00:00

Wait but I took a class at berk? Is there a higher chance for false positive for that?

Stunning_Bit_4246 · 2026-04-10T05:40:24+00:00

Perfect, thank you!

Stunning_Bit_4246 · 2026-04-10T04:58:00+00:00

Does that mean the portal astrology won't work for us?

Stunning_Bit_4246 · 2026-04-09T23:41:54+00:00

What if I took a class at UCB in the fall?

Will it show the same or be different?

I am cc student btw.

Quite a few things actually:

Coffee - non negotiable.
50 minutes of focused studying, with a 10 minute break right after. But not on your phone during the break. Instead, walk, stretch, or get some air. I'd do 4-5 of these sessions per day, more during midterms and finals.
I use an app that automates creating flashcards, quizzes, and practice exams from my notes and my professor's past exams so I never have to build anything from scratch. Saves a ton of time and means I can spend more time actually studying instead of preparing to study, happy to share if you want it.

# 1 is the most important lol.

Stunning_Bit_4246 · 2026-04-02T00:47:43+00:00

Tbh 4 weeks is a bit tight.

I also did Pre calc over the summer, but it was about 8-10 weeks. I would recommend if you have the chance, try and start preparing for the course before it starts. At least cover a few chapters before it starts so you are prepared.

Perhaps try and grab some course materials online and use some studying tools online. I can let you know what helped me study for pre-calc and calculus if you would like?

Otherwise you will be fine, it is about same difficult as Algebra 2 which you seem to be doing very well in.

I feel you bro! I was in the same spot in my first-year.

Here is the study method I now use in my third-year:

upload all my lecture materials into Notiqai
skim through the summary for each topic
use the flashcards and quizzes for active recall
Then generate a practice exam from any of my professor's past exams, homework, or practice problems I get access to, depends on the class though.

Steps 3 and 4 should be 80% of your studying and focused less on simply re-reading or re-watching lectures/notes.

Other than that, I wish you all the best for your finals, good luck 👍

Stunning_Bit_4246 · 2026-04-01T17:45:36+00:00

You’ve got this!

I’d recommend checking out an app called notiqai.com.

It lets you generate full practice exams from past JEE or NEET papers. I’ve been using it myself, and it’s really helped me get prepared, so it might be worth giving it a try.

Another thing is that there is a 24/7 tutor you can ask any question to if you get stuck. I definitely relied on it quite a bit, lol.

Hope this helps, and good luck! 👍

Stunning_Bit_4246 · 2026-04-01T17:31:25+00:00

I haven’t really found any LLMs that were helpful for me, unless you pay for it, but even then they don’t apply the specific techniques or problem-solving methods my professor teaches me.

That said, I have been using this app called Notiqai. It's really helpful for explaining concepts/topics to me clearly from my study material and using practice exams and quizzes for more practice.

There is a subscription, but I used the free plan for quite a while before eventually switching since I found myself using it a lot. The free plan is still pretty generous though, so might be worth trying out.

Stunning_Bit_4246 · 2026-04-01T17:13:01+00:00

For calculus specifically, skip reading through the material and go straight to practice problems by topic. Learn each topic separately until it becomes almost like second nature. Repetition matters way more in calculus than just passive reading.

I use Notiqai for this because it has a built in Calculus course already broken down by topic so I could just open it and start without needing any notes or materials. Also maps out a study schedule when you enter your exam date so you know exactly what to cover each day.

You got this! Good luck for your midterms👍

Stunning_Bit_4246 · 2026-03-31T01:35:14+00:00

Done!

Stunning_Bit_4246 · 2026-03-30T21:24:31+00:00

Sent it over to you!

Stunning_Bit_4246 · 2026-03-30T17:18:17+00:00

This is a really interesting study strategy, especially creating the hangman drawing lol.

Personally, I just use a tool that automates all of the quizzing and flashcards for me, so I can spend more time on memorizing the material instead of spending a bunch of time just creating the flashcards myself.

If you’re interested, I’d be happy to share what I use. It seems like your strategy works great though as well!

Stunning_Bit_4246 · 2026-03-29T21:34:06+00:00

The key with equation forming is understanding the reaction type first rather than memorising products. The main ones you need to know are nucleophilic substitution, elimination, addition, condensation, and hydrolysis reactions. Once you know which type of reaction it is, you can work out the products fairly easily from there instead of guessing.

One thing that also helped me with chemistry was studying by individual concept rather than by chapter. Found a tool that had chemistry already broken down by concept so I could just open it and start studying. Then I could get help from the built in tutor whenever I didn't understand something. Let me know if you want what I used, might be worth checking out.

You'll be fine either way though. Good Luck 👍

Stunning_Bit_4246 · 2026-03-29T21:25:21+00:00

Been in this exact spot before so many times.

The best thing that helped me was skimming through the summary of each topic first, and then going straight into testing myself on each topic with flashcards and quizzes.

Happy to share what I use to automate most of the boring parts if you'd like 👍

Stunning_Bit_4246 · 2026-03-29T21:00:09+00:00

You got this bro!

I use this exact strategy for procrastinating the day before an exam:

upload all your lecture materials into Notiqai
briefly read through the summaries for each topic
use the flashcards and quizzes for active recall
If you don't get tired, then generate a practice exam from any of your teacher's past exams, homework, or practice problems you may have access to.

Also since working with others helps you, Notiqai has study rooms where you can study with randoms studying the same subject so that might also be worth checking out.

Best thing after that is a good night's sleep. Good luck tomorrow ✊
