400 questions without revision is useless, I literally have the spreadsheet. I did 220 with 3 revisions each and cleared 4 product companies. Quantity is not prep.

Share the dry run, not the opinion. What does a 20 minute medium actually test? Pattern recall. Useful, yes. Not the whole interview.

Ankit bhai calm down. aadhi raat ko 'basic stuff btw' likhne se kisi ka bhala nahi hota. Kunal ki baat sahi hai, revision > count

In my team the best engineer cannot do a medium in 20 minutes. He can find a race condition in packet code in 20 minutes. Different skill only.
