13 week and its too late?
Switch off the TV, Game Console, mobile phone and internet.
Plenty of time for those later.
Get a study timetable made up and stop procrastinating.

Study calculations well - need 80% in this section to pass

Tag your BNF (especially dose equivalence bits, palliative care, and anything else that comes up in the exam a lot)

Do past papers. A lot of past papers!!!!

I think 13 weeks is good enough time if you could prepare a time table and keep it up. and as regard to calculations the pass mark is 70 %

I am really weak in calculations. Any good book that you can recommend? I am way too early in preparation but I must make sure I pass at first attempt!
