In this guide, we'll learn how to effectively use a credit and test tracker to manage your academic courses. This tool allows you to monitor various aspects of your coursework, such as syllabi, lecturers, credits, and potential bonus points.

The tracker also helps in estimating the effort required for each task and automatically updates your progress status. Additionally, it provides a way to track grades and store important files. This guide will help you navigate these features to stay organized and on track throughout the semester.
