Secret 3: Materials
The ICAN study materials are guidelines and channels to the success of your exams. Forget about what you've heard about the packs, you need it. From experience, some examples from the packs have been lifted as exam questions. Moreso, each subject has a list of recommended textbooks. These textbooks are not for 'decoration'! They are to be bought (borrow/steal-to be returned later) and read.
  Get a copy of ICAN syllabus to guide you
