Failed band 7. I didn’t have any time for mock exams… i took the topic tests and scored 69% (it was not timed). Planning to take it again in Dec to make sure i have enough time to take 5-10 mock exams. Any comments? Working full time around 45 hours a week.

It gets tough with work but its not impossible. Could try studying at workplace after 6PM.

Personally I think mock exams are very important and those are a good revision for your preparation.

Do the topic tests and mocks at least twice. First try is to identify your weaknesses. Second try is to ensure that you successfully worked out your weaknesses.
