Hi everyone, I hope this message finds you well. I recently took and passed the Subtests I (229) and II (230), and I wanted to share something I wish I had when I started preparing.
I came into this with no teachers in my family, outdated resources, limited direction, and a very short preparation window. I was even 1 year removed from graduating college and 1.5 years removed from actively studying art fundamentals, history, and terminology. A lot of the process involved figuring things out on my own (hours of research, rebuilding study material from scattered sources, and connecting information that wasn’t always easy to access). So if you feel behind -do not worry, you’re not alone.
Instead of letting all of that work sit buried on my computer, I decided to share it. If it helps even one person move forward with less stress or confusion, then it’s worth putting out there.
In my reply below, I’ve included a breakdown covering:
- Logistics & Strategy
- Resources (w/ BONUS tips)
- Lessons Learned & What I’d Do Differently
If you found it useful, I appreciate the support
