The 6-Week Study Framework ### Weeks 1 to 2: Foundation (Service Map) Time commitment: 45 min/day, 5 days/week Goal: Build your mental service map. For every cloud service, know what it does and when to use it. Day 1: Read the first two exam domains. Take notes on services you do not recognize. Day 2 to 3: Research unfamiliar services. Use documentation and practice questions. Day 4 to 5: Practice domain 1 questions. Review wrong answers. Day 6 to 7: Repeat for domain 2. Repeat for remaining domains over the next week. Key rule: Do not try to memorize everything. Focus on service selection decisions. When would I use service A instead of service B? ### Weeks 3 to 4: Practice Questions Time commitment: 60 min/day, 5 days/week Goal: Build pattern recognition through practice questions. Day 1: 20 practice questions timed (40 minutes). Review every wrong answer (20 minutes). Day 2: Review wrong answers from Day 1. Study the concept. 10 new questions. Day 3: 20 new questions timed. Review. Day 4: Focus on your weakest domain. Study concepts, then practice. Day 5: 20 mixed questions timed. Review. Day 6 to 7: Rest or light review.
