FM theory learning

Dear Sirs, I am now at the end of learning phase with BPP text. First I’ve gone through all the lectures on OT (in June), than I started the study text, reading all essential information and making all exercises. But it seems I am getting better with the technical calculations, but struggling to remember all theory (like assumtions and considerations for every theory/model) and then struggling to use this theory for reasoning C questions. I have always had a good memory, but here I don’t know what is going wrong… I have understood the sense of things during the OT video lectures, but then…info disappears from my head((( How much of the theory I have to actually remember and be ready to reproduce in C questions? When answering the test questions, then I can remind me of the sense of questions. Thank you in advance!

Approximately 50% of the exam involves calculations and 50% is theory. The theory questions are not usually testing pure learning but are testing understanding. The only way is to keep practicing questions in your Revision Kit and learning from the answers.
