E190/195 GENERAL INFORMATION
An Education isn't how much you have committed to memory,
or even how much you know. 

It's being able to differentiate between what you know and what you don't.

 It's knowing where to go to find out what you need to know;
and it's knowing how to use the information once you get it.
