Below the belt....
Back to the original poster, simflys advice re the note reading an hour each night and a few hours at the weekend is good, thats also how I did it and it worked!
Basically, the practicals can be subjective, and you can only do your best. My own view was that the theory stuff, I knew how much work i needed to put in, and made sure I put the work in. If I didn't do the work then it would be my own stupid fault if I failed a theory exam!
Enjoy it, Bournemouth is a great place, and despite a lot of hard work (and having to put up with a couple of the lunatics above), I had a really good time!
