ABO944 - you don't say whether you are distance learning or residential, and if it's distance learning then it would also help to know what other commitments you have, how long you were hoping the exams would take, etc.
I can only advise with distance learning, since that's what I did. Decide on a realistic time-scale, let's say you decide to complete module 1 in 8 months. Remember that the last month of that will be spent on the brush-up and doing the exams, so that's 7 months. Allow a bit of spare time before brush-up (in case your schedule slips, or to spend going over things that you weren't totally happy about) - so you're looking to complete the studying in 6 months.
Now, work out how many frames (or chapters or whatever your school uses to break the notes up) you need to do each week to stick to that schedule. Take a calendar, and, for each Sunday over the next six months, write which frames you're going to do that week. Then, don't just stick to it, but aim to get ahead of schedule - and stay ahead!
(Being ahead of schedule is great, by the way - it means you can go to that party, or that airshow, or to the south of France for a few days.)
As for how to do each frame, the method that worked for me was to read the material once through. Then re-read it and highlight the bits that I thought were relevant. If you're with Bristol, you'll have a CD on which you can practice the tests - do that, make sure you understand any questions you got wrong, and repeat the test until you can confidently get 90% in it (and, for most subjects, remembering the answer doesn't count unless you know why it's the answer!)
Don't overwork yourself - you must take a break and watch some tv or something if you find yourself loosing concentration. But be strict with yourself: "I'm obviously not concentrating, so I'm going to have a sandwich and watch The Simpsons. As soon as The Simpsons finishes, I'll start studying again."
Good luck!
