I failed. How should I study for next sitting?

I’ve received this question from a couple of students.  Here is what I suggest:

I’d go through the videos, but at a faster pace than last time.  Maybe do 2-3 lessons a day.  Don’t spend a lot of time working problems while you are reviewing the lessons.  The goal is to watch all the videos again as fast as possible so you can start working problems.  Make sure you work every problem in the seminar.  Work them twice if you can.  For ones that you miss put them in a stack and rework them.  Keep putting back in your stack untill you get them right.  When you work problems do them in groups of 5 problems.  Take 5 problems from different sections of the material (e.g. A.1, A.3, A.4, B.1, B.2) and work them under test conditions (give yourself 25 minutes for 5 problems).

    First of all, about my FM August classmates:

    Where can I meet my classmates that are using TIA for FM August? How do I communicate with my classmates?

    You might be better off asking question via email or the AO discussion forum.

    Supplemental readings: It looks like I will not have to buy any books or manuals for this course. Correct? Great! Incidentally, I will have the ASM manual, McDonalds Derivatives, and Brovermans.

    All three of those can be helpful.

    Ok, but how do I meet my classmates here in TIA?

    There is no central forum just for TIA users.
