Good to see that someone has made a plan and is differentiating between initial learning study and revision; however I'd say that 2nd activity is primarily attempting past paper questions and then revising when you realise that your performance fell short in an area.
I am not a Telecomms person and once data gets into the telecomms cloud then I am lost and just hope it emerges where and when it should and in the correct form. You say the syllabus is vague- I don't think (but not sure) wthat Study Packs available and there is little if anything in exam reviews but Past papers are available and ought to give a much clearer view of what things come up and the level. Have you got hold of these?
By analogy with the Signalling Papers I do feel reasonably confident in saying that it is not likely to be hosts of DETAIL but a good general the OVERVIEW of a topic that is needed. "Compare and contrast", what is appropriate where in what circumstances, the reasons which lie behind decisions, the WHY rather than the WHAT.

8hrs study at the weekend and 2hrs on one evening during the week that makes 10hrs a week and so 280hrs for both modules.
I have given 4 weeks (40hrs) to revision and so I'm left with 240hrs learning - 120hrs per module. This also gives me a spare week at the end to relax.
One of my main queries is that the syllabus is far too vague.
For example it mentions Coding theory and methods. I know of some very specialist coding theory which I covered in a course at uni - it is unlikely that they require this much detail. There are so many codes it's difficult to know what they actually want.
What was your approach to module 6?
