Hi Kevin,
I did the met exam a few weeks back. It's not an easy subject, but found it way more fun than airlaw! What worked for me was to relate the subject to real life weather while studying it.
Check live metars/taf, forms 214/215 (https://secure.metoffice.gov.uk/account/index.jsp) and surface pressure charts and think of how it would effect your flight lessons. Such as BKN005 would result in a cancelled lesson. Dew point close to temp might result in low cloud and carb icing, cold front moving away from airfield is a good thing... etc
Read online articles/youtube videos on fronts/pressure systems they helped a lot!
After you understand the subject well, start working on the usual mock questions and or perfector/airquiz

Good Luck!
