Take a break and breathe :) I would focus on the material covered in the Princeton Algorithms class (part1) on Coursera. It doesn’t include graphs, DP etc.

Thanks for your suggestions, may I ask if google ask graph questions or not ? Exclude DFS/BFS which are so important for sure

Google asks everything I’m afraid. Really depends on your interview loop.

Only way to not get exhausted is to actually care about CS and make something. Like a hobby, or a project. Then you can apply all the fundamental knowledge you’re studying. But just studying in order to pass interviews will be exhausting and difficult work.
