Provider: Coopersmith
Course: Linear Algebra
Course content: Practice questions, suggested videos
Final exam format: Open-ended and multiple choice, but they were about equal in difficulty
Final exam content vs course content/practice exams: I actually found the practice final harder than the exam itself!
Time taken on course: Took a bit of time (began taking studying seriously in March), but mostly because of shifting my focus between other courses and taking breaks between my intense study sessions
Familiarity with subject before course: Got an A in a community college level course 3 years ago. I would not have passed, as I had forgotten most of the information aside from how to perform row reduce operations
Pitfalls, high points, things others should know: Know your basic matrix operations, how to perform a dot product, how to perform the calculation for projecting a vector onto a plane of two basis vectors, how determinants work and you'll be set. I highly recommend watching 3blue1brown's videos on linear algebra for a strong foundation in the concepts, even if it doesn't go deep into detail about the topics. Made the whole learning process a lot easier. Then try to tackle to problems first and watch the videos for topics you don't understand.
1-10 Difficulty level: 4 (with sufficient preparation)
