I think that's a fair observation.
Maybe i'm mistaken, but i was under the impression that there are many more young teenagers trying out PhRing. I have replied only because i thought they were young & impatient.
I keep saying that if you are doing it w/ the book only, i really think it helps to get a friend to study w/. Learning together will definitely make it less confusing.
Formulating clear questions also helps us to answer clearly. I just don't answer general questions anymore. It doesn't work! This is a hopeless comment.
People having problems need to get quiet & write down exactly what it is they are confused about & what they want to know.
