studying contractual and financial risk management

It's true that you get like the people you live with; I've spent a lot of time in the financial industry, and it seems I've picked up a thing or two. For instance, on the "transferring financial risk" chapter of my studies for an upcoming exam, I did a practice quiz and got 92% by blasting through 50 questions in thirty minutes.
On the other hand, I've shared an office with a lawyer for the past year and only got 62% on the chapter on contractual risk management, blundering about for 2½ hours as I kept stopping to read a passage from the text book or to look something up Internet-like. Of course, my office mate is a career finance type who only recently got his degree, so I'll cut him some slack.
