    Some tips for Compsci Erstis
    1. Don’t be freaked out cause of Dismath Proofs. At the end, the structure of the exam can be predicted by solving old exams. Solve them and see what you are good at, train till you master these easy and same-strutured subtopics and ace all points out of it. + dont' go through the lecture. Do the exercises.
    2. Linalg: Can be predicted by solving old exams too but don’t get too cocky, you have to go through the proof from the lectures. They always include one/two proof (as whole exercise) from the lecture.
    3. EPROG: Programming part: 3 can almost always be predicted and trained b4hand, has many points too. Train for 1 x 3 or 1 x 2, where 2/4 are usually unpredictable
    4. AD : Written part can get u most 3.5 points out of 6. Train it, to get at least 3. The written + programming part lean on the exercises, not the previous exams.
    5. Analysis 1: YOU HAVE TO READ "Analysis I Eine praxisorientierte Einführung für Mathematiker und Physiker" THEN a >= 5 IS safe.
    6. DIGITECH: PREDICTABLE. DO THE EXERCISES + LAB . The content of the course is massive but the exam leans on the exercises ONLY. YOU ONLY NEED 30 PERCENT CORRECT TO PASS THE EXAM BECAUSE LAB IS 2.2 POINTS ALREADY.
    7. PPROG: SOMETIME COULD BE VERY MEAN, DON’T UNDERESTIMATE it. It might be easy for you but the grading scheme is horrible. GOAL: ace all points from the easy exercise LIKE 1 and 2. parts (calculate throughput, speedup etc.. HERE YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND IT in detail because its the minimum what you can do for PPROG and it could get you like >= 20points).
    8. AW: just like AD.

    2:44 I just wanted to clarify, I usually study at the library and sometimes I run out of paper, that's when I use the printer paper in "emergency cases" whenever I don't have any more left on me, I don't think it's a good idea to constantly take paper from the printer 😅

    Hi! I want to study at the ETH next year and I'm wondering how many hours daily you have to spend studying. I've heard that the Basisprüfung is really hard to pass and I know that I am not particularly smart so I am now reconsidering my dicision. Can a normal student pass the exam if he or she works hard or do you have to be really really smart?
