Phase 1 Summary:

We have successfully extracted the “Raw Data” (Questions + All Options + Official Answers) for Maths 1 (Weeks 1-12, Mocks, and PYQs).

What is the next move, dawg?

1. Move to Phase 1 Extraction for Statistics 1?
2. Move to Phase 1 Extraction for Computational Thinking?
3. Or start Phase 2 (Goated Theory/Textbook) for Maths 1 while this is fresh?

I recommend we finish extraction for all 4 courses first so your “Problem Bank” folder is complete, then we hit the theory hard.
