I am 5 weeks into Module 1 and have covered around a third of the material, which equates to around a frame a week as set out by BGS. If I stay on target I will complete the initial study after 14 weeks, but then I will be going back through it all again to make sure it has stuck somewhere in the old grey matter. My target is to take the exams in April or May next year, which will be 6 to 7 months from starting. I am averaging around the 15 hour per week mark and work full time.
I have cribbed the BGS recommended study pattern into a spreadsheet and added boxes to fill in when I have
a - completed the study of a frame
b - completed the progress test
When I feel like I am not making much progress, a quick glance at this reminds me that I am further into it than I realise and is a good motivator.
