I work on a rotating shift pattern; 1 week I work 7-3, next week 3-11 then 3rd week 11pm-7am.
I assessed my lifestyle and said to myself in work I get 1 hour worth of break so instead of reading the paper I could be reading the BGS notes. so that gave me 5 hours per week right away. then I looked at my after hours work what do I do? so I packed the x-box back into the bag and put it away so it limits the distractions!
believe me that was hard! - its all about discipline. Some people say learn the question bank, I would agree with them - but dont learn that JUST to pass the exam, try and have an in-depth knowledge about the theory.
As 1 of my mentors once said to me - do you want to be a real pilot or do you want to just pass the exam?
Best of luck
