Good afternoon Ana,

Thank you for all the updates and your quick responses.I've gone through all the links quite rapidly, just to have a bird's eye view on the course content. I shall get on with everything I can as soon as possible, although I will probably take a while covering all the materials.

That's definitely my first question. As I was studying on my own and I am working at the same time, instead of rushing through every topic, I decided to focus on a realistic aim (it was 20 topics out of which I've already covered 10 - from topic 52 onwards, as literature and culture related topics are my cup of tea). Now that I am enrolled and have your guidance, I shall do more and quicker. However, I would feel less overwhelmed if I have the opportunity to continue with the schedule. That is to say, beginning where you are at the moment, so I can get the hang of it easier and sooner.The blocks you've already covered... I shall go through them on my own on a parallel basis, I think.The question is, I am not sure if that would affect the course programme you've designed, I mean, the practical tests or the mock exams you've already scheduled.

I will follow your advise as that is exactly why I enrolled. I am fully determined to sit the state exam, but I am also aware of the timing, so I have to be practical.

Kind regards, Gema.
