Re: OT: please share strategy

Thanks Narbik/Anthony and Imran for bringing up the topic. I was
beginningto loose
it because I thought I just wasn't putting enough hours in to prepare. The
maximum time I can spend in a day studying is 2 hours after which I cannot
retain any information. Glad to know others face the same problems.
Thanks for sharing.

Regards,
Sid
