Tbh, why does it have to go fast? Nowadays everything needs to go fast at the expense of quality. Dont forget if you go to an interview later on, they will ask you questions about the theoretical stuff!! If you get the job and are flying the aircraft, it is nice to know that eg your EGT is increasing due to an engine stall or becausing the increasing demand of bleed air. Etc
Really, take your books, read, study and mostly........ENJOY.
