Learn Fundamentals by keys or exercises?

Hi, I'm new to the board.
I am working out of the Baermann book on scales, thirds, etc. (the fundamentals).

My edition of the book is arranged by exercise, but I think the Hite version is arranged by key.

My question is whether it is better to learn the fundamentals by exercises (eg learn all major scales, then all major thirds, then minor scales, etc.) or by the key (eg learn C scale, Cm scale, C thirds, C arpegio, then all over again in a G, then in D and so on)?

So far all I pretty much have learned is all major scales at sixteenth notes at 125, and I am wondering how to approach the rest of the Baermann.
