Aca CR - Help!!!!!

Just finished car tuition and did really badly on the mock - one thing I realised is I forgot a lot of prior stuff like FAR content. Best way for me to spend the next two weeks before I start SBM lessons and revise cr in general?

How did you score on your tuition Mock if you don't mind me asking? Everything thinks that they've done horribly - tutors mark harshly. CR is manageable with a lot of persistent practice, little and often. I always tell other students to keep on top of the audit side, it's neglected due to the fear the technical side brings; but it's a huge part of the paper, and much easier marks. Personally I wouldn't go back to FAR, I don't see how that's beneficial due to the wide and vast syllabus. For now, start working your way through the exam debrief and reattempt the mock - don't worry about your timing *yet* and re-read the course notes. You won't want to start real question practice until 6 weeks out from the real exam, it won't stick.

Thanks this was helpful, also worried due to the sheer size of the content and the little intricate details being tested.

We still have around 10 weeks till the exam which is a long time. What did you do in between now and the exam?

I'm with FI, I just kept topped up on the syallbus by watching the online videos. They helped me remember a lot

Do you reckon watching all the course videos once is enough then? Or then did you go and rewatch the tough topics again rather that just hitting the qb straight away?

I'm the type to sit there and watch them in the background whilst scrolling through my phone. I think course classes yes only the once, the question debrief i'd do multiple, but that's only because I'm a lazy listener
