What do I learn by rote when I solve (or view) exam-prep quizzes

I use frequently a Japanese learning site "ping-t.com" to prepare for information technology exams such as CCNA or LPIC.

I started the studies for these exams from almost zero knowledge. For example, for CCNA, I hardly knew about differences between IP address and MAC address. Using quizzes of the learning site helped me greatly to learn the knowledge required for the exams.

I owe greatly to the learning site the successes of the tests, especially to its selection of knowledge and its design of practice quizzes. There are two types of quizzes there, multiple choice quizzes and typing quizzes.

Also I have learned that rote learning can help me understand technology, when I don't mistake what to learn by rote. If I had learned by rote only the answers of multiple question, I wouldn't have passed the test. I learned tables of commands, options, and paths in the description for the questions which I can see after I answer and click the "check (correct answer) button". The number of the strings (commands, options, paths, parameters and so on) I memorize is certainly becoming power of understanding of the Technologies, showing high proficiency on tests, and performance of my workplace in the future.

Even now, while I'm thinking that standard social skills in business scenes is worth learning, I scream to myself getting mad when I learn them.  Isn't just shaving my beards enough to be a salesperson? Am I going to be disadvantaged forever because the skin of my face and my head is too dry? This is one reason why I thought that I wanted to escape my country when I was 11 and 25. This made me learn some foreign language. However, I'm learning that overseas isn't so good as I dream about, especially as long as I go to public school. W...

It's my lack of confidence that is to be beaten

Autism, is it something to be removed? Or is it just another type of human being? I can't answer to this question. I, as you see, have language, and have a job. Although my struggles are real as well, I hear that there are a lot of cases of struggles many thousand times than mine. Ones who don't have language, or with serious behavioral problem. Although my behavioral problems, mainly social awkwardness, I can't answer the question whether autism is something that should be beaten. Instead, I can answer one question. I have to beat my lack of confidence through long struggles, if I want to succeed.
