Question Study with partner or attend externship before CS?

If you have one month to prepare for CS; what would you choose?

Please help me choose between the two options.


I'm confused between these two choices. Although I'm eager to get into this externship, I'm afraid it could end up being overwhelming or not CS-oriented, so I'd be wasting my time in that month before the exam. By the way, I can choose to take the externship after the exam or at any time (as it's going to be in a private clinic/hospital of a relative).

What would you choose if you were in my position?

Thanks.

Question Why not both?

Why don't do both of them?

Do the externship and then stay home and study for the CS
