I have just completed studying Volume 1 and have written my exam last Monday. I pleased to announce that I have successfully passed Volume 1 and looking forward to Volume 2 of the course.
Leading up to the day of the exam, I was really worried. The chapter on financial statements confused me, I was days away from the exam and still had 2 chapters to go. It was Saturday night, I was hosting a Christmas party and I was worried about chapter 4 & 5 which I had yet to read.
Looking through Chapter 4, it was THICK (that's what she said)! Chapter 4 looked like it was the biggest chapter of the book...it was twice as thick as the other chapters in the book. I decided to skip it and move on to chapter 5 since I could read all of chapter 5 and go back and glance through chapter 4 at the end.
In the end, all I did was the practice questions at the end of each module online (except chapters 12 and 4 - OOPS) and hoped I retained all the important stuff.
Good news it that I passed. I'm really excited to move on and get that much closer to quitting my existing job and move on to a more rewarding CAREER.
There are also some lessons I learned while I was studying.

There are also some lessons I learned while I was studying.
- I can DO it. I was able to read, study and pass one of the exams
- Wake up at 6am on your days off and read/study. You'll learn better first thing in the morning with a hot mug of coffee or tea by your side. It's quiet with no one to disturb you and distract you.
- Relax. Don't panic.. Go over the material and reread the topics you didn't get a good handle on
- Don't leave shit to the last minute
Wish my luck as I go into Volume 2.
