@nicole.hopkins, I've been studying for around 13 months just like you. It does take long time for someone to digest these concept and use them like second nature. For someone who is not MikeRoss, a year is reasonable.
I am paying a tutor for help in grouping games, can anyone help me out throughout Skype? I am really low in cash and will be taking a hard hit financially to pay for this two hour tutoring session($120). I need help with In/out games...
