Exam help was: Brain dumps

Hi
First I'm not sure if this will help at all, but I'll say what I'm going to
say anyway.
A bit of background, I've known I'm dyslexic all of my adult live and was
aware I had a "problem" in school with reading and writing. I personally
find the computer based exams very difficult, because I skip words as well
as mis-reading words (Studying for the CCNA and it scares me knowing the
pass mark is high, I'll know my stuff, but how many "dyslexic mistakes will
I make).
so my advice is to realise what your particular problem is, if its dyslexia
I can personally recommend the book "Dyslexia the Gift" (As a side issue as
the book says its more of a gift that a problem, more so when you get to the
solutions) if its something else treat it like a puter glitch and solve the
problem and then re-take the test and see how you do.
To do this I would suggest answering several random question and see what it
is your doing, almost watch yourself from the sidelines. Look for things
like ignoring details in the question(Question writers love that type of
stuff), is it that you've already decided upon the answer before looking at
the options given and take the first one that looks correct, they often put
several similar looking answers in.
HTH

| Best Advice I ever got (from this news group) was read the question
like Roseanne
Read aloud (in your head if there are other people there)
emphasise the work *NOT* or any negative statement. This means you
avoid answering the question you think you're reading (the brain has a
tendency to miss negatives in questions, this technique ensures you
register the negatives before you try and answer.)
