Hi
I have also taken about 16 IT Test (MCP,MCSA,MCSE,CCNA,Network+,i-net+) It took me about 2 years of constant learning. At the time I did the thest I can`t photoread. I even didn`t know that such a Technik exists.
Anyway. I just read the books, every week about 800 - 1200 Pages of Material. After a half year I realized that I can just go through the books without worry if I have may missed an important thing. The key of passing IT - Exams isn`t actually the reading of the book about, it is the prepare part for the exam. "Skills beeing measured". Everybody knows what is measured by the exam. So after the first time reading the book do it a secound one, but only with the topics wich are relevant for the test.
One of the biggest problems are these Question Catalogs. First they are illigal, secound the often WRONG !!! And third they pervent you from logical thinking. The exams arent hard, they just need a lot of theoretical and practical skills.
Anyway it`s your choice how to pass an exam. If you won`t have the skills you won`t get a job or whatever.... even if you archieved your titel you want.
I just want to tell you a little story I had.
It was one day befor my exam. I know I had only one week to learn and this was too less, so the night before the actual exam I learned. Just reading and reading my own written points form the staff. I just got this 300 Pages through I think about 5 times. I have drunk 6 cans of beer and eat everthing wich was fat. Ham, bacon, and so on. I was tired so I also drunk about 10 cups of coffee. Anyway everytime I got through the 300 Pages I thought "What tha hell have I read before ?" and so on after the 5 th time it was 8AM in the morning. Ohhh my god I thought. I`m drunk, I`m tired because I was awake for 30 hours and I have to pass an exam in 2 hours form now an. But I just go for it. I even realized that I wasn`t able to go a stright line. And may you know the feeling the world is happen arreound you and you relize everthing, you get mad. But I went to the testing center. There I checked in and they said to me that the test is english. Wahhhh englisch my main language is german and I working with german operating os and read german books about it. I was completely wirred. But I said to myself no Problem you will do that old boy it`s your 6th exam nothing can go wrong. So I sat infront of the screen and I don`t know why but every answer was right in my head. It was amazing. I switchted through the exam in 15 Minutes and have a score from 98 Percent.
Since this Moment I realized one Thing. I don`t have to worry if I don`t realize the sense of Material at the first time. If the body is in the situation and it`s an important one he will throw out all the data you have gave to him.
I Think I have done something like photoreading and didn`t knew it.
May this helps you
Sorry for the mistakes....
