O que aprendi em 2 semanas estudando só por questões?

Main ideas & lessons

1. Switching from PDFs/videos to practice questions changes learning speed and depth

   • After ditching PDFs and studying only with practice questions for two weeks, the creator reports being able to progress faster, at least in some topics.
   • They reach content they had never studied thoroughly before using traditional methods.

2. Organizing the study process is a major enabling factor

   • The creator credits their progress to learning a system for structuring notebooks and planning question volume.
   • Because everything is organized, studying becomes more “flowing” and less like restarting from scratch.

3. Practice questions reveal gaps and still motivate you

   • When they encounter a topic (they mention “skills”/a difficult area), they got every question wrong.
   • Instead of quitting, they treat it as:
     • evidence that it’s a new/unfamiliar subject
     • a sign they need more targeted review (e.g., reading the underlying material/law)

4. Repetition inside question sets can build confidence

   • In some question batteries, the same issue/problem appears many times (they estimate answering ~50 questions on one repeating topic).
   • This repetition creates hope: if it repeats like that, they feel more likely to perform better on the real exam.

5. Self-awareness improves exam strategy

   • Studying through questions helps them identify:
     • which subjects they have aptitude for
     • which subjects they struggle with (even within a “good” discipline)
   • They connect this to test strategy: start with the topics that will energize you, not depress you.
   • Example mindset: start with administrative law to maintain motivation; starting with something like financial law could lower morale.

6. Speed and reading agility increase with practice

   • They report getting faster at solving and reading, citing an example where they solved 40-something questions in 15 minutes.
   • Faster completion translates into better test-taking performance and planning.

7. Method remains—even if performance is imperfect

   • They explicitly reject returning to traditional studying because “this method didn’t work.”
   • After the exam, they plan to continue self-testing, but with added structure:
     • a calmer, step-by-step approach
     • focusing on the most important topics (e.g., making summaries, error notebooks)
     • using other strategies without abandoning question-based study

Methodology / process described (detailed bullet points)

Study approach

• For two weeks, study only through practice questions (no PDFs, no video lessons).
• Use question sets to:
  • learn content
  • expose weaknesses
  • reinforce understanding through repetition

Notebook & workflow organization (pre-requisite)

• Use a course/system to:
  • properly organize notebooks
  • set them up step-by-step on a platform (“Tec step by step” is mentioned)
  • define what to study
  • define how many questions to do
• Track progress by checking items off (organized workflow makes studying faster and smoother).
• Note: the creator says this organization work is heavy (took ~2–3 weeks to set up).

When a topic goes badly

• If you get many/all questions wrong:
  • do not change the overall methodology
  • instead, increase time spent on that topic
  • consult the “dry law” / underlying reference material
  • then “hammer away” with more questions on the same theme(s)

Learning through repetition

• If a question bank repeats the same topic/issue heavily:
  • use it as reinforcement
  • expect that repeated patterns are likely exam-relevant
  • aim to convert repeated exposure into correctness

Strategic test preparation

• Identify personal strengths/weaknesses per subject/topic.
• Choose the exam order to maintain motivation:
  • start with topics you solve quickly and that give you “energy”
  • avoid starting with subjects that might demoralize you

After the exam (future plan)

• Do not return to traditional study methods.
• Continue question-based learning, but refine the process with:
  • a “pre-announcement”/study plan of key issues
  • a calmer pace
  • targeted tools like:
    • Anki (“Ank” is mentioned)
    • summaries
    • an “error notebook” of mistakes
