Everybody is different when it comes to study. Whatever works for you. It seems fine to me though. Dare I say, a little over the top. You will find that some subjects hardly require any reading, whilst others will be read again and again (and take much longer).

With the beniefit of having done them, I recommend you treat the course as two different phases.

Firstly, read the books (or CBT) and do the tests. Understand everything you come across. If you forget it 2 days later, dont worry. Just be able to say, 'I've read that and understood it. Kind of'.

Secondly, exam prep. Go and hammer the Bristol QB. You will find after a while that only a very small amount of the crap in the course is examined. Do the QB with the books at first and get a feel for the questions. You soon learn what the examiner wants you to know. When you are confident with these (no more than a week or two), go on the 2 week brush up. Does exactly what it says on the tin. This basically cuts the crap and gets you up to exam speed.

Then look forward to Mod 2.

Enjoy
