A good Study regimen is key to successful retention. Before study it is best to Pray and ask The Lord GOD for understanding as you begin the study as it is HE who gives you the ability to understand and retain.
For studying any particular Topic it is Best to follow these steps :
First
Watching: Watch a Topic via video to get a good familiarity about the topic your about to read.
Second
Reading: Do not leave a section of written Material unless you can look away and recite to yourself the gist on what it is mentioning.
Third
Labbing: Lab or “configure” the Technology you just finished Watching and Reading to really solidify the material in your head.
Fourth
Q&A: Q&A the Topic you just Labbed via Practice Test questions. A Set of Flash Cards would work will for this step.
Genesis Teaching is here to help you with Every Step of your study regimen by Clarifying and reinforcing
the learned material. We do this by using Clear Explanations, Easy Analogies, and walking with you thru the entire Lab Step by Step congratulating areas of Strength and identifying & Strengthening areas of weakness.
One book I recommend is Todd Lammle’s CCNA Study Guide Located HERE which you can use in conjunction with Genesis Teaching Video Series.
