Concepts are hard but need to spend time to really understand it. Once you understand it, it is pretty doable. One key aspect I noticed that a lot of students didnt do is to take down notes of what the lecturers said during lectures as some slides didnt really explain it well. PYP questions tend to repeat but there is some tweak here and there to catch students off guard.

This module is one of the most difficult in year 2 as concepts are really hard and also needs a lot of practice as well as guidance. For finals, questions can be quite repetitive and it is important to do PYPs.
