pooh bear Posted March 16, 2002 Author Share Posted March 16, 2002 Thank you for the welcome I will let everyone know how I do on the test. I have been practicing all week. (about an hour a day) Do you think I should practice longer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaiFightsMS Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 At your level an hour a day may be more than many of your classmates are doing. So for the time being what you are doing time wise is probably very good. The basics are so important. It is hard to do the same thing over and over because we want to get to the really neat stuff. But the basics count for so much. The danger at this point is to do too much and burn out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YODA Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 An hour a day is fine - the key is consistency. It's much better to do an hour a day for a week than to cram 7 hours in the day before.
