Strategic Study Approach

2. Prioritize & Practice: Focus on the heavily weighted Architecture section. Use practice questions continuously to find and fill knowledge gaps.
3. Master the "Why": Understand *why* Adobe Commerce uses certain patterns (e.g., plugins vs. observers). This is key for professional-level, scenario-based questions.
