I haven’t passed an exam in 19 years. Mainly because I left school at 15 to become a musician and artist (Yup, honestly, I really was that naïve) but also because I was an academic disaster. I wasn’t stupid, I just wasn’t a person suited to a school system skewed in favour of those who are good at exams (which I’m not), rather than good at learning (which I am).

I reconfirmed my exam ineptitude a couple of years ago by really studying my ass off for an IT exam, only to fail yet again. At €200 a pop, I just didn’t have the expendable funds required to retake it. It was pretty demoralising.

Well the time has come around again and I need to take another exam next month. It’s in IT Project Management and I need to pass it for a bunch of reasons, corporate nonsense mostly, but I digress! This is really just a convoluted way to ask you, dear reader, for some advice:

Have you any particular study method you’d recommend, that has worked for you in the past?
