Best way to practice

Hi,

I read Lecture Notes, one chapter after another, making my own notes as I went through. After each chapter, I would watch the Lecture video and then practice the end of chapter questions set within the Lecture Notes. After going through all chapters of the Lecture Notes this way (which took me 24 days with roughly 4h/day), I skim read through all my notes (especially to recap on the earlier material). This is the way I’ve just used to go through the syllabus of BA1.

Following this, I just did the first part of the Kaplan Exam Kit 2017 questions set, which was A1 National Income and Changing Economic Growth Rates. Unfortunately, I got only 13/27 questions correct, which I found incredibly disappointing 🙁 and concerning tbh, and BA1 is the very first module too. I felt unprepared really when doing it, and sometimes felt as if the questions in front had material that I hadn’t touched upon before (e.g. how Q10 was based upon “contractionary monetary policy”).

Am I going wrong anywhere in my approach? Would it have been better to perhaps practice on the Kaplan Exam Kit after each and every chapter of the module? Any suggestions? I’d really appreciate any feedback so I can build an effective study approach with adequate practice moving forward, including for all the module I’ll take after BA1. Thanks a lot 🙂
