    Hi
    I was wondering if you could help me. I had an over 4 years gap in my studies due to having kids and with 3 exams left I decided to continue. I have sbl which I’m planning to take in Dec and 2 optionals. My question is that I realised that sbl is holistic and integrated exam which needs our knowledge from previous papers but although I studied sbl syllabus im struggling with questions where previous knowledge (like investment appraisals) is required which i seem to struggle with as it’s been a while since I studied these…any advice on how to pass this exam after such a long break??? Many thanks

    If you are struggling with material that is in SBL but which relates to an earlier paper, go to the relevant parts of our material for that paper and revise it. There is really no short-cut. You should find it comes back quickly our notes and lectures are quite succinct and you find it does no take too long to breath new life into old skills.
