If you do not feel like studying,don't do it.Do just what you want.Life is very short.Don't make it bore and dull.

Hey in 4 months you can read thrice! I am not kidding.....First reading is the lengthiest one ....Secong and third can be done in 11/2 months(my personal experience)....And after the first reading you can start doing mcqsfrom q-bank....It is doable. Just put your best into it....And leave the rest on God ....I am sure you can do it!!!

Hi Karan,

I think you should focus on short-term goals, say finishing a few chapters over this weekend. This will help you making concrete progress every day. Thinking too much about the end result will bring lots of anxiety which is counter-productive. I saw your post before. I am kind of in the same boat with you, working full-time and having limited time for study. So if you like, here's my email: lakeview99@sbcglobal.net. We can communicate through email.

Just hang in there. You can do it!

4 months is more than enough. I studied for six weeks and passed comfortably. Just dump all the big books, read FA and do Q-bank.

If you are working full time then don't try to sit and read for Mle...something must be sacrifice here you have to sacrifice your time and hard labour with full concentrations...
Then only think of giving MLE in 4 months of time with tight programme.
Good luck and best wishes with you always..
