hello anyone has advice on passing SP exams, specifically SP9 exam?
1) Is using the flash card and summary booklet from the Actuarial Education Company useful?
2) There seems to be so much to memorise. What is the best way to commit the materials into memory? Using mnemonics or mindmap? Or just keep practising questions will do?
3) Is memorising the flash cards and summary booklet, and practising tons of questions effective?

I find that practising a few questions per topic helps to identify the important points for the respective topic, from there I would create a mindmap on the broader scale and mnemonics at the tips of the branches of said mindmap. Or at least that's what I do for CT2 and CP1; for the math-based CTs I place the needed formulae in place of mnemonics.
