Studying for exams...

Microsoft Exams....


I've got a relatively good method for getting through the questions quickly, my issue is remembering information.... Working for Circuit City they will pay for one of the two exams I want to take, the one they will pay for is Setting up and configuring Vista.... I've been meaning to study and take it for a year now, but it's always a matter of me getting bored whle trying to study....

My method of studying is going to the practice questions and exams repeatedly until I know the answers quickly... My method for the questions is to read the question itself, then look for the problems within the problem, often times the question itself will not actually relate to the problem they're giving you, so by reading the question itself first I save time there....


Basically what's the best method to make myself go through 160 questinos repeatedly until I can get an 85% on that damned practice exam without making myself incredibly bored? Or least WANT to do it?

Frog

You could try making it a challenge instead of a task. Try to write a paragraph based on each question which involves the question being asked and the correct answer. If you can write a coherent paragraph you "should" retain the information. The downside of just memorizing answers without understanding them is that you do not generally retain the knowledge.

Good luck!
