Your not slow.
The only exams I passed in "3 days" were the ones that I either had some background knowledge in, or were part of a cluster- in other words, not starting from scratch.
If you are over 40, US History 2 will be part of your life- you <cough> remember Regan...it's not such a stretch.
If you have had children, you LIVED through Human Growth and Development, if you are a woman you'll have even more background knowledge.
If you are a homeschool mom, you have probably been studying educational psychology at least a little since before you started your child's program.
If you are over 25 and ever been the manager, your introduction to supervision will be familiar.
If you have done any administrative assistant work, written reports, or authored company manuals/handouts- your ready for technical writing today.
If you are addicted to crime TV (Law and Order, etc) and follow local news, you are off to a good start for Criminal Justice. If you have ever been in the system...well....your probably also well suited

These are just a few of the examples of situations where "3 days of study" will fit the bill. It stems from being part of a group that will have more exposure to such topics. I can think of "regular" people who are well versed in politics, history, etc because they enjoy it. These people will find a 101 level introductory course exam to be very comfortable.
Now, physics or statistics? Huh? I don't know anyone who studies those for fun. LOL
