I haven't been able to read everything before, but in brief: I took the exam as a relatively new entrant to the industry and I struggled with M1 - failed it. M7 I seeemed to pass ok arguably because of the predictability of the questions, and I believe that M5 is similar though I never sat it. I passed M3 with quite a bit of studdying and M2 too, I even got a distinction there. With a few more years industry experience, and having passed other Ms which I studied hard for - and learned a lot about the railway as a result - I was then able to pass M1, though it was still achallenge.
Perhaps for someone in your position M1 would require less additional work to get through, truth is M1 is different for each of us, and each year is different.
Good luck!
