[QUOTE="D, post: 27645, member: 540"] The key with "commercial awareness" is understanding that it is not something that can be crammed. I posted a podcast thread on here - [URL]https://thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/commercial-awareness-podcast-thread.2182/[/URL] - Just by listening to 10 mins of that a day you will find after a month or two, you really get what is going on. Also, don't be worried if you don't understand what is going on! Every time you hear something you don't understand, jump into Investopedia and look it up.
