It's LOCKDOWN here in Wales again. Roads quiet, nowhere to go. Perfect time to study - MATHS - Arghhhh! Why?
What on earth made me take a math heavy course. We are only just getting started.
Stuff I should know, stuff I should have covered in school - GCSE stuff. why am I finding it so difficult to rack around in my brain for those little clues that helped me get through those my exams?
Even looking at GCSE/A level revision books is making me think - there was no way I knew how to do all this to sit an exam.
Oh yeah - it was over 20 years ago and I have had 2 kids since then. Brain mushed!!
Evenings are getting harder to concentrate and I find I don't have enough time in a day to revise.
Something has to change - revamp of that study plan.
Although, I do have a maths tutorial on Wednesday - hoping for some lightbulb moments there or it will be 1:1 tutor call for me.
Despite somehow getting 86% in the iCMA so far - I was too heavily reliant on the books with me.
TARGET: iCMA51 = minimum 90% with less use of the books. I have just over 2 weeks to get myself up to speed and I'm a week ahead of schedule. (Hope to get week 6 out of the way this week as well) then that will give me some good groundings before I return to work - if kids will ever leave me to get a few hours peace during the best time of the day to study.
The struggle is real!
