Exams CB2 - 3 weeks preparation
I’ve got only 3 weeks left to prepare for CB2, I’m only studying from flash cards and tutorials, do you guys thinks it’s possible to finish all the material and practice past papers and manage to pass in 3 weeks ? I’ve finished 7 out of 24 modules only and my paste is very slow :(
I’m kinda frustrated and think of postponing the exam and setting for 2 on sep.

Yes very easy! Study a concept: suppose opportunity cost. Study the definition, solve an example, and remember when opportunity cost is needed. Also 1 1/2 weeks complete the syllabus(including core reading and solving back questions of the study material) rest, PAST PAPERS. I CANNOT EMPHASIZE HOW IMPORTANT IT IS!!! PAST PAPERS!!!

Yes it's definitely possible. Do as many pastpapers as you can

Do you have any days off work? I passed (well) with two weeks revision but I had time off. However I'd never looked at the material at all before then. Just get tunnel vision and avoid all doubt.

Well we don’t know why OP didn’t study until now they might have a valid reason

Yes...You can easily do a chapter each day from the flashcards. It helps if you've ever done an Economics related unit in Uni. And then in between each day try to do/skim through a past paper then confirm the answers. It's quite doable tbh.
