Prep Update - Gave Mock A - Level 2

Upon receiving much guidance from the community here. I decided to give the Mock A from the LES. To make it hard and surprising, I woke up and just sat for the Mock, without revising anything.

- 50% in Part 1
- 66 % in Part 2

Overall - 58%

Some Takeaways
- It Felt like Level 1, mock questions were direct and to the point compared to twisted qbank questions.
- It was more like you know- you know, you dont know - you dont know.
- Many Formula based questions. Just plug and get the answer.

Are exams like this? Straight and direct? I thought exam would be way more convoluted given how qbank is designed. I find passages shorter (way shorter) and no time issues.

I think I will follow maximum retention strategy compared to maximum understanding strategy to ace the exam.

Let me know how I can improve. Exam in 7 days.
