Exam-Studying attack plan!

This is a post I hope will be shorter than the previous one. The following are a list of what my plan is for studying for this exam, my "tips", if you will, for how to go about attacking all the materials and making sure everything's well understood.

* Look at the empty lecture notes for each week, starting at the first one and going from there, solve each question given as an example in the lecture notes. After finishing each week's lecture notes, look at the annotated notes and the course notes that correspond to check your solution. If the solution was wrong, attempt it later on after finishing a couple of other weeks' materials/taking some rest.

* After finishing all the lecture notes given. Look at empty tutorial slides, do the same thing in solving the problems, on paper, then checking them against the solution.

*Look at the tests briefly afterwards, see where you might've gone wrong! Compare solutions to corresponding course notes to see the right way of answering each one of the questions you answered wrong. Also, briefly look at the questions you answered right just to make sure you still fully understand them.

* Do the same thing done with tutorial handouts, but with assignments this time. Compare the solution you get from answering the question now, to the one in the assignment solution, to the one in your own solution. Look carefully at the differences, to get an idea of possibly different ways of handling questions.

**Get a good night sleep the night before the exam :D

Hope this helps anybody unsure of where to start :D

Good luck :)
