Here's a thread many of us can benefit from. It is common knowledge that when you fail a certification, there is something wrong -- a kink if you will -- with your study practices.
In this thread I want you to describe your study practices and habits in as much detail as possible.
I'll give you a primer:
#1. I decide I want to get a certification.
#2. I research relevant books on
www.amazon.com and buy at least one. (I have this thing about books. I love to own books.)
#3. I decide what I need in order to assemble a home lab and buy it.
#4. I get everything together and go though the book(s) I bought, following all the labs and exercises.
#5. I go over the key concepts.
#6. I go over as many brain **** as possible.
#7. And finally, I take the cert.
This process can seem lenghty and most of the time it is, especially when I go for something I have no previous experience with.
Now it's your turn.
