FAQ

How should I use these nyu study resources?

Choose one foundation resource, one practice resource, and one review loop before opening more tabs.

Should I use free resources first?

How do I avoid passive resource browsing?

Pair every resource with a timed sprint, a visible output, and a recap note before moving to the next item.
