Daily Study Schedule
Dedicate 1-2 hours daily to ARA-C01 preparation. Split each session: 30 minutes reading study materials, 30 minutes hands-on practice, and 30 minutes answering practice questions. On weekends, take a full practice test to measure progress. Consistent daily study is more effective than cramming.
