Have you taken those exams before? What worked for me with each of the exams was that I pinpointed my focus on the areas that did NOT carry a lot of weight. Lots of students did the opposite. And of course, I strived for the A in the exams...which I never got. But I was more than okay with the Bs and the couple of Cs. Since you have the recommended textbooks, may I also suggest that you try the studygroup101 notes. Good luck!!
Thank you. Yes I failed ls1 and ls3. I do have study group 101 notes. I also studied for about 6 weeks. Theres so much information and how will I know what to pin point?

Between the EC exam content guide, the practice exams, and the test results (did you save your printouts?), you should be able to see which areas are giving you problems and study those more in depth.
Thanks Lunah. Yup. I did save it. Actually went to walmart to buy a notebook to take notes this time. Not giving up. Got my emotions in order and getting back on the horse!
