Read one lesson (10–15 min) — note the interview prompt verbatim.
Close the page; sketch on paper or SV Editor without looking (15–20 min).
Read pitfalls and smoke test; say Q&A answers aloud (10 min).
Optional: Code lab exercise if linked.
Paper + pen for true whiteboard simulation.
SV Editor for syntax check after sketch — not during first pass.
Waveform only after smoke sim — not during sketch.
Use read-only lessons for interview prompts and Q&A. Use Code lab when you need a starter file, compiler, or saved workspace — levels 8–10 map to this course.
Timed sketches beat passive re-reading for interview prep.
Narrate out loud even when alone — builds interview muscle memory.
