Most advice ties this to your attempt: Regular for first-timers, Fast Track for re-attempters. That's the trap. The real question isn't which attempt you're on, it's how you learn.
Fast Track isn't for repeaters. It's for students who can fill gaps themselves. Regular isn't for first-timers. It's for students who learn best when every concept is built from the ground up.
Get it wrong in either direction and it hurts. A self-driven student sits through 200 hours they never needed. A lecture-dependent student buys Fast Track and spends months trying to fill gaps alone.
Ask Yourself
- Do I learn better from lectures, or from self-study with lectures as a guide?
- If Fast Track cost the same as Regular, would I still choose it?
- Can I honestly keep up with a fast pace on a hard chapter, alone?
Red Flags
- You're choosing purely by attempt number ("I'm a re-attempter, so Fast Track"), not by how you learn.
- You're choosing Regular because it "feels safer," even though you know you'll stop paying attention halfway through.
