I've just finished at Bristol GS after 5 months study - Mod 1 exams in August and Mod 2 exams in November - all passed first time although I gave up work to concentrate on the study. I looked at full time schools (OAT, Atlantic etc) but why waste money on these. Bristol course notes are excellent, the brush-up courses and instructors are excellent and the OQB is great for revision. Also means you get to stay at home and help your partner......cooking, cleaning, ironing....there's always a downside!
So it's possible to achieve in 5 months but you need to be focussed.
