I made it thru 3 college degree programs by being blessed with the ability to remember pretty much anything that I read.

After Reading Thru PMBOK and Rita's, I 'KNEW" everything contained within the pages.  I failed my first attempt at the PMP exam by a squeek.  Why?  As everybody keeps saying, memorizing the information won't get you thru the test.  I only did as well as I did because I have so many years practical hands on Project Management Experience.
