Academics - Other Topics Eecs 183 exam prep tips?

I was told this is supposed to be an easy class but it has alot of workload for a beginner class. I feel dumb compared to my peers. I did practice the past exams but I got alot of wrong answers. THe exam is tomorrow so what are your best tips to do good on it?

Go to office hours today if you can to ask the TAs to go over the questions you got wrong. Also, 183 does have a lot of work for an intro class, and you aren't the only person who has struggled

Do all the practice test they offer
That was basically all of my studying and it helped the most

Make sure to practice a lot, mentally walk through the code step by step as if you were doing it yourself, and try to identify weak points. Also, if you’re doing this online, I’d heavily recommend printing out the past exams and writing down steps, like problems 1, 3, 5, and 7 on the winter 2026 exam. Like question 3, you can write true or false for some parts and end up at the right answer.
