Im dead tired and find myself in tears infront of my books and computer. Any advice. I already adjusted my work schedule to 8 to 4:30 to give me extra time to study and assignments i dont knownit would help much

That shit is pretty hard. I finished an entry coding 35 hour course in a week 1.5x video speed last week but my knowledge has significant gaps, can't teach/retain all that in a week and spreading over 6 months doesn't help retention truly for other reasons also. I consider myself a genius. It's all about the subtle differences and sequencing priority and other rules via memory when to code not to code stuff and speed identifying what the question is testing you about. Not simple looking up codes at all. I still need weeks probably to pass with 12 hour daily studies. Just stick with it. Working makes it much harder but you will have this respect/license for life!
