There is more meat. Such as that you can't focus for extended periods of time. It is important to schedule time to work, preferably in the morning. It is useful to have a study partner around your level, but generally not useful to have a large study group. Get started early.

Those are all important points.

And strangely, they actually all run counter to my experience. For hard problems, I generally work best alone in long blocks of time at night.
