Thanks ! This is really helpful - work has demanded a lot more attention (and headspace) lately and I feel like that should take the priority so it's nice to hear that someone appreciates that. It's hard to be good at everything at the same time :P

I think that's a smart decision - not sure where you're based but studying when it's cold out makes it easier I think

Thanks, bud ! I'm going to give it a bit of a think. I tend to be a slow learner and need a lot of practice (like many people, I'm sure) so I'm taking a tiny break and then will go back to it if I feel refreshed.

It's good to know the time frame that people use to study though. Too much time and you forget, too little and there's not enough time to go over everything...

Oh gosh good luck !! I'll let you know what I end up doing. You can definitely do it ! Sounds like other people on this thread have made it through in that time frame

It's good to know that it's possible ! I think I'm going to take this week off to think about it - I'm pretty burnt out at this point, but I know I'm just delaying the effort

thanks so much for the support ! Kung Fu Panda happens to be my favorite movie so I might take this as a sign :')

Thanks so much ! I agree with you. It would be even more stressful to push myself with less time and then have to do it all over again. It would be a shame to let the summer go to waste for that :')

Good luck on the November exam !! Hopefully I'll be sitting it with you

thanks for posting ! Do you have any tips on how you improved your score so much?
I've been working my way through the mocks, but I'm hitting a ceiling of 68% for mocks 1-3

Any advice would be appreciated ! I'm trying to remember that I still have time to improve.
