          I’m a June candidate. I’m 415 hrs of study in and just finished my first official practice paper.  Scored a 75%. Economics is tough for me as well although I seem to get decent scores I feel uncomfortable and feel like I’m guessing at times.  Repetition is key, Muneera. Studying isn’t science. Find the average study time it takes candidates to pass then adust that figure according to your abilities.  Ppl say 300 hrs, I say yaaa right. I’ll be over 500 by the end of this.

            I did a whole degree in economics (albeit 7yrs ago) and I struggled at times. Of course, the terminology will get a lot of non-econ majors as well. elan’s econ video on YouTube helped me. They key is to do a lot of questions for each area as well.

            Thank u @googs1484 for ur feedback! Much appreciated.
            I guess ur right about 415hrs. Looking at the volume i feel 300 hours may not be enough…at least for me when i have 2 kids to take care of too. 😀
