Study Plan
This section gives you a sample of a weekly study plan to help keep you on track. Use it to spend the right amount of time on each topic and to ensure you pace yourself during your long study journey. This study plan can be used either as a self-study guide, or in conjunction with video-based prep courses. We've also created a study calendar that shows the time allotments for the full 21-week study plan and a link to the practice cases that match the order of the plan.
