    Lock your study text away in a basement and forget where you left the key

    Read the course notes (just READ, don’t try to ‘learn’) once each week – that should only take 2 hours tops from start to finish

    Watch the videos – aim for three times but you’ll probably have to settle for just twice

    And throughout, have a revision kit handy (and a pen and sheet of paper for your answer attempts) and practice, practice, practice questions for hour after hour after endless hour

    You’re unlikely to score much more than 20% First time through. But when you do those same questions again the following day, you could well be hitting 40%

    Next week, on those same questions, you’re getting up near 60%

    The week after … see where I’m going with this?

    Hour after hour after hour, over and over again

    And, when you hit a question and you don’t understand why your answer is not correct, post again on this forum and I shall get back to you

    OK?
