I can read books effectively but relisticly how much could i learn in a 5 hour study lesson with someone when i have no prior knowledge of the subject
Can't you start reading the books now? Shouldn't take more than a couple of days to read Airlaw for example? You couldn't possibly learn everything in 5 hrs.
I just read the Trevor Thom books a couple of times, then did some q's from the Confuser and then the required groundschool bits and took the exams....
