Hi Everyone. ASI am new to this Site and am so glad I came across it.... I do hope someone can help me in the right directio II would be obliged if anyone can enlighten me as to if there have heard of R.D.D. (Retention Deficit Disorder) I believe I strongly suffer from this. I am quite good at retaining and remembering things I learn practically, even if I have not used these skills for years, they generally come back to me without any problem whatsoever. When it comes to Retention of Theory or sitting Theory Exams, I get so frustrated and upset that my mind goes blank and I wonder what happens my Brain and where my Retention disappears to at this point?

I would really be more than grateful if anyone could throw some enlightenment on this for me. As I am a Mature Student and am hoping to go and repeat my Theory Exam. I.e. Diploma in Teaching I.T. (Application) I seem to have lost my confidence, and it is putting me off, as I will have to re-sit for a Theory Exam I had an accident two years ago and ended up in a Coma for several days and a wheelchair bound, for ten months and since, then I have doubted my Ability and Self Confidence. I am quite good when it comes to Multi-choice Questions, my brain kicks in no problem and I know some people find this a real draw back in an exam as it confuses them more, but thankfully for I find it suits me.

Unfortunately there are no Multi-choice Questions in this particular exam. The Assignment and Projects relating to this particular Diploma, I will not have a problem with doing. Mairead
