Difficultly Doing Vista exam

light123

Hello,
I've been trying to get ready to do the exam for a good while. on off for 6 months. I still can't seem to get the stuff into my head for it to stay.
I even repeat the prep tests given with the book again and again, passed a few times but info doesn't seem to stay with me.

What am I doing wrong? What is a successful what to learn this material?
I work in IT and use Vista at home.

Do I really have to bash the material into myself? How close is the prep test to the actual test?

Thanks for any info you can give me.

Have you always have a problem retaining information, or is this something new?

Hi there,

Thanks for reply. Good question! I have a degree but I only did well in one exam in all the years. I never did really well consistently.
Why the question? It's valid yes but where does it come from?
You're right in your thinking. I know I'm not thick and that I can think
abstractly and read quite well, literature, the economist, etc.
Could it just be confidence? That is too deep seated to be easily changed?

Any ideas?

thanks

I have a pretty good memory, but it's even better when I'm eating well and doing regular exercise. It's also a lot better when I'm not drinking.

Could there be factors like the above that are affecting your memory?

That and probably a bit more...
and there I was; going to have a beer tonight...

I do walk a good bit though. Anyway back to the book for me.

thanks.

The degree was probably interesting. Forcing ones self to learn something that may not be interesting ain't easy.
