Hi long final. Good luck with your brush-up and exams!
1. I felt that I'd forgotten more than I'd ever learnt, if that's possible.
2. No. I kept a record of my progress (date I sent in the tests for each frame) but not the time I spent studying. One of those things I'd rather not know!
3. Not at all.
4. My technique was to do the test on the computer first, then learn the questions I'd got wrong. Only when I was consistently getting very high marks did I send the test to the school. Because of this, the fact that I got over 90% on every single progress test is probably very misleading - the marks that I was getting the first time through the test were probably closer to 70-80%, depending on subject.
5. Bristol
And finally - so much so, I can't really put it into words. Passed all 14 exams first time, with an average of over 90%, whereas I'd have been lucky to pass any (except maybe R/T) without the brush-up.
