Feneris,

Loads of good advice here. Read them all, I'm sure that at least one of them will work for you.

Personally, I use a combination of G-RICH's and Token Bird's techniques. I read through the subjects first, usually during the week, trying to understand as I go, but not necesarilly trying to remember. Then, at the weekend, I go over the subject again, in detail. Often I find that I remember most of it from my initial reading. The bits that I'd forgotten, as well as anything else which I find a bit difficult, I highlight. Then I can go back over the highlighted points again to check I really understand them.

I also make good use of the CD, especially the progress tests. I run through the test on the CD once I've finished studying the material, and always make sure I understand all the questions I got wrong. If I got less than about 80% I do the test again.

NW mentioned the brush-up course. Do not rely on this course to teach you the material - it's not long enough! The course is absolutely superb, as long as you understood at least most of the material the first time through. It will focus your mind on the subjects, and sort out all of the bits that you thought you knew once but you've forgotten. But it won't teach you material which you haven't spent the time studying properly beforehand.

Good luck!
