Hello Epic_mg

I did my course through Brizzle Ground School. Basically I followed their prescribed order of subject study. Don't know who you are with but basically they break the 14 subjects into 2 modules. Per module there are 12 or so frames. A frame will typically contain a few chapters from 2 or 3 subjects. At the end of those chapters there will be tests.
I did almost all of my study on the London underground. 1 hour each way and then what ever it took to get through the tests in the evenings (maybe another 2 hours per week). I tried to get through a frame a week.
I remember feeling towards the end of each module that I had forgotton the subject content from the earlier chapters. I did a couple of weeks revision (again on the tube) before going to the 2 weeks brush up at Bristol. At the end of that, felt up to speed.

I worked fulltime and finished in 12 months. Lost my social life and saved a lot of cash that would have gone to the local land lord.

Hope this is of some use?!?

Cheers
