My plan is quite simple, a chapter a day, nibble my way through as many books as I can until I'm ready for the written. Hoping April, May time, but as I am well aware, life WILL get in the way at some point, I've just got to try and keep the focus. I plan to read 2 books at once, different subjects alternating days. (Read that tip somewhere). I'm an early riser so hope to get some quality time in first thing, followed by recap on the journey to work, sneak in what I can during lunch, then recap and plan next days study in the evening. Going to try using Evernote and Anki. may even delve into Freemind. But carefull not to lose myself in how I study/present rather than what I study. Heard stories of students spending many hours preparing an indepth and detailed study plan, but then not studying, easily distracted.... I have 3/4 of the ine rack, so with the help of ebay will finish it off over the coming months.... I will try and update now and again...watch this space. Anyone has any tips, please throw them my way Andy

As all you that are trying know, its all about repetition. 2 or 3 times around and concepts start to become familier. skimming becomes quicker. its the first and second times thats soooo painful...
