My advice is this, dont wory about three days and you still dont have it
right. I am a college student and sometimes it takes me a week or more
to master a page of the kroepsch studies. while these are much harder
then rubank advanced, i am also at a higher level of proficiency then
you at this time. SOmepeople learn things faster then others. Take
your time and dont rush it there is always tomorrow to make it better. I
mean i took a look at one of my old rubank books and could practically
sight read the stuff perfect but i havent played them in like 7 or more
years and have studied much more difficult literature since. if it is
mentally bothering you too much take a break from it. GO to something
else and come back. Educational Pyschology tells us that a person has
only a certain span in which learning is effective in one sitting. once
you have studied anyting for a certain period which differs from one
person to the next, you will not effectively learn any more. YOu must
walk awayfrom it and come back to it later. AT the later time you will
start fresh and be able to learn more and better then if you push on the
first time.
