It's actually not capacity so much as lack of it - I don't memorize things well, so to be able to recall, I have to put in a good chunk of time prior to testing. I've tried the plug-and-chug method in the past and it doesn't work for me. (Sustaining interest isn't always easy, but what I lack in RAM, I make up for in pitbull-like determination. I've out-stubborned a two-year-old.)
I wish it did - I'm insanely jealous of those folks who can retain information after going over it once or twice. My memory is either not trained or not wired to work that way. As in so many other things, effective test prep comes down to knowing what works for you.
