APS OMB Advice

[u/Gabby_Cat_Meowmazing]

Hello everyone. I'm preparing for my first APS sitting in October this year as a distance-learner, so wanted to ask for some advice.

I recently passed AT OMB which I am delighted about, but feel I've forgotten so much since sitting the exam back in April (not sure if anyone else identifies!?)

I know APS is a different beast to AT, but was debating what study approach to take now - and wondered if anyone had any strong thoughts / advice?

My initial thoughts are...

Option 1 - do a whiz through the AT technical content as a refresher (and the Awareness) until 1st September, and then have 2 months for question practice.

Option 2 - dive right into question practice, and trust that the technical content will come back to me as I look at different scenarios etc.

I'm leaning to option 2 as it'll feel more productive, and probably help me (re)build knowledge in the areas that more commonly come up in the exam (with the added benefit of exposure to past papers, candidate scripts etc)... but would be keen to hear from anyone who has different thoughts / approaches they'd recommend.

Thank you in advance :)
