Studying for IB FT and I'm slow AF: How much did you improve?

After a shit ton of studying--1.5 months of 25h/week--I have a decent handle on accounting and "what happens to the three statements?" questions. I'm still slow as fuck on some of the calculations, though.

Note: not a "math person", I'm slow generally. I squeaked by college linear algebra courses.

Did you find your speed improved as you practiced over time? How much better did you get?
