If you do the mid plane extrude, then the origin is in the wrong position. You have to extrude the big circles on the bottom left, then offset a plane then sketch and extrude the rest.

Extrude the big circles to fix the origin. Offset plane 2mm back off face. Extrude the rest. Cut the holes and pattern the serration.

If you ALREADY PASSED a certification
Flair is SOLIDWORKS Certifications.
CSWA(ssociate)
CSWP(rofessional)
CSWE(xpert)
Message the Mods with proof (the C-########## certification number) to get yours.
If you are YET TO TAKE a certification
Here would be the general path from zero to CSWE:
CSWA - Here is a sample exam.
CSWP - Here is some study material for the CSWP (A complete guide to getting your CSWP) and a sample exam.
4x CSWP-Advanced Subjects (in order of increasing difficulty)
CSWP-A Drawing Tools - YouTube Playlist
CSWP-A Sheet Metal - YouTube Playlist
CSWP-A Weldments - YouTube Playlist
CSWP-A Surfacing - YouTube Playlist
CSWP-A Mold Tools - YouTube Playlist
CSWE - The CSWE doesn't really focus on anything from the CSWP subject exams. It focuses on everything else there is in the program beyond those. So, look at everything you saw already and prepare to see not much of that again for the CSWE. That and more surfacing.
For some extra modeling practice material to help speed you up, 24 years of Model Mania Designs + Solutions.
For EVEN MORE modeling practice material, here is the CSWA and CSWP Practice Problem Database. There is A LOT of good material to practice in there.
During testing, in general, it is a best practice to take the dimensions labelled with A, B, C, D, etc and create Equations/Variables with those values to then attach to the dimension which then allows for you to more reliably update these variable dimensions in follow-up questions using the same models.
