It's official, I'm just plain old

At 45 I didn't think my brain worked for anything except Mommy work! I like Cliff's Notes and Spark Charts, they just give you the important things so you don't get bogged down with other extra junk. I also like watching podcasts along with checking out various publishers websites for textbook companion info. Sometimes they have games to help you remember info and most have quizzes to help you test yourself to see if you really do remember more than you think. I find that happens a lot to me. I think I'm not remembering the info, but when I do the multiple choice quizzes or exams I find out the info is there, I just don't have the specific recall I would like. In other words I know it when I see it just don't ask me to regurgitate it on demand! LOL! The old brain still works, just in a different fashion than it used to! Keep plugging away, we can do this it just takes a different learning style. I'm a believer that your learning style changes as you get older and get more distractions. You can do this! Just try to find another method to get the info! You are not alone! Good Luck!
