I'm struggling with knowing how to efficiently and effectively revise for CP1..
I finished reading the notes a month ago now and feel like I've not made much progress since then.
I'm trying to do the general advice of "do loads of questions!!" and "learn all the acronyms".
And it's taking me like an hour to do & check a decent sized question (I don't even write it out a lot of the time, just do the planning) and even then my answer isn't explicitly like the mark scheme - sometimes it's obvious I've gone the wrong direction with a question or haven't gone broad enough with my answer but other times I feel I've made valid points and it's difficult to know if they'd get marks or how many marks they would get.. and it definitely feels like I'm blagging it every time with my questions.
I'm mostly attempting questions closed book and think some of the material I don't know very well but it's really difficult to know what to focus on to learn as necessity from the notes as there's so much of it. The acronyms do feel like they help for certain topics but other topics feels like a stab in the dark attempting to answer those!
How do I feel like I'm improving with this exam? What should I focus on?
How are you tackling revision?
