Whew... It's finally over.

I had been atteding a 5 week training on Data Warehousing, and had to clear a Certification Test at end of the course. This donning of student mantel after a couple of decades I discovered a few things -

1. It takes practice to study for long hours
2. The percieved expertise and reality are some times different. One needs to get reality check done by sitting at exams (maybe)
3. Objective quiz and actual working are different game.

& Finally ...
4. After some cold start, these are still doable ... as I cleared the certification without much of a problem.  But I missed my normal activity and family. Maybe, I will adopt a different strategy for any similar situation later.
