The course offers a step-by-step approach for exam preparation. Sessions are sequenced in a progressive manner to guide students in the ARE process. This course is ideal for students seeking steady guidance in passing the exams. Lecture covers key ARE content and answering strategies. Students will be provided a Study Methodology with Syllabus, exam breakdown, daily study routine and a recommended timeline to take ONE exam per week for students who are interested in the challenge.
