My Study Style: Overload

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

    If you have that kind of dedication, keep going that way. If it's broke, don't fix it.

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

    i just took 701 & 702 and I read every single page of the Sybex book, first time I ever did that, normally I skim stuff, but I think it helped me a lot

    Has it been working for you? Good scores overall? If so, no need to change a thing. Everyone is different with how they study so whatever you find works for you is probably best.
