I hold a Principles licence and spend much of my time doing control tables, SSI data and schematics, thus I'm starting with this module as it's likely to be the easiest for me to prepare for.
I plan to do the control tables question - I guess I have the knowledge, but need to transfer it to using IRSE tables, layout and think about exam technique.
Then I'll do the Aspect sequence chart - I read these but it's a while since I've designed any so a bit more to do there.
That leaves a 3rd question and I want to have a good wade through past papers in order to direct my effort there - I'm hoping there are a handful of topic areas which come up regularly and focus my work on those.
There is a fledgling study group at work but we're a rather motley crowd (of which not all will take any exams anyway); I'm expecting to do much work alone. I've not been aware of anyone else in my company taking the IRSE Exams in my 10 years there so support from there will be variable.
I'm beginning to work on the readling list and finding it a easier to get hold of historical stuff than those about current signalling principles.
