can you go through the 25 markers you did leading up to and during the exam? Did you make essay plans in preparation for the exam, did you just do practice questions, or was it a mix of both?

good summary of the philosophical points but probably needs some clear world examples of peoples sensory perceptions and how we get the most basic logic to judge whether our perceptions are reliable and we share the same congruent reality with other people to share descriptions of our experiences.

Really appreciate you for taking the time to comment @rogertheultimaterabbit, I will consider this feedback in subsequent videos. To your point, my understanding of the empiricist position is that sensory perceptions like seeing/ touching the keyboard I am using to type this, is reliable due to the fact it is an experience which is involuntary, meaning the experience is not open to manipulation. Our experiences may not be exactly the same, qualia is subjective, but our descriptions are functional, and can be validated with scientific experiment which shows consistency between our experience of the external world and the external world itself.
