Hello all. I am wanting you all to critique my study style in a way, for I cant tell if its a flaud style or good style. I know we all learn by various ways and methods, but here is how I learn.
My style is to pretty much overload, and by overload I mean read as many cert books I can get my hands on, and watch as many CBT series I can get my hands on, and then once I have read and watched everything I own I will then just start doing every single practice exam I can get my hands on.
My most recent exam was Sec+, and I read 3 books (Sybex Study guide-Derril's book-Exam Cram for Sec+) I also watched CBT Nuggets and Train Signal, and of course after all that I buckled down on practice exams.
My only flaw I see with my style is that I get sooo much info from soo many sources that I may get mixed opinions. This has been working for me, for I have not had any issues not passing an exam yet.
What do you guys think?
- Thanks in Adv

I'm jealous if you can pour so much attention into reading/studying. -
