Sure. 3 at a time is tough. Just put in the effort and should be able to make it.

Ard 60-80 hours per module should be enough.. U taking any lessons?

Just do the sample qn is enough cause they give answers and guidance.

For practice u have to do the past yr papers.

Lastly keep timing your speed when your doing the exam. Speed and discipline is key. Dun get too absorbed into doing consol and neglect the rest.

If consol is 30 marks then technically you have 30x(100marks/180min) 55 min to do. Exceed 1 hr it only means your dropping points somewhere else.

I repeated 8 past year papers 2-3 times each to finish my exam paper on time, and I dun even think I was confident I got all correct

Thank you, your advice really helpful! I think I didn't practice enough plus didn't really understand the concept of tax and exchange reserve. need more revision from now on.

Must we read all 15 chapters of the CBS study guide? I see that the weekly study plan didn't include all chapters. Please advise.
