🧠 Exam & Study Tips

  • Practice daily: Try two programs a day to build confidence.
  • Visual learning: Draft flowcharts before coding—helps understand logic.
  • Test edge cases: Use different input values to observe carry/overflow behavior.
  • Simulate frequently: GNUSim8085 lets you see register operations and flag settings live.
  • Revise smartly: Group programs by theme (e.g., all arithmetic tasks) and review weekly.
