Exam Tips & Strategies
This is a practical exam—you actually build models in TensorFlow during the test
Master data preprocessing and augmentation—models are only as good as their data
Understand when to use different architectures: CNNs for images, RNNs for sequences, Dense for tabular
Learn to debug model training: overfitting, underfitting, learning rate issues
Build projects on your own before the exam. The more you code, the better you'll do.
Time management during the exam is critical—you have 5 hours to complete several tasks
