    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.
