Thanks.

I am confident I can do it in 3-4 weeks!! Don't worry, still think I can. I am going to do a practice BAK test tomorrow, that should isolate those area where I need to put in more effort. I did read my text book cover to cover a couple of months back so have the basics covered, but I have only really started to knuckle down into the study this week.
Spoken like a true 21st century student.

Long time ago, people studied stuff because it interested them.

I seriously doubt that you would notice the difference in power required for cruise with different weights.
Disagree, I have seen it many times.
What usually happens in my case I typically fly at the same power setting (close to max allowed per POH) and observe slower IAS with heavier loads at the same altitude.

I can notice it at the loading extremes in a microlight, but it is very much type dependant and I believe the former statement is true most of the time
