I was tought many years ago that it's not knowing the answer, it's
knowing where to find the answer, and by asking the right questions,
in the right place you can mostly get the answers.
It just takes time.

Years ago I was an Instructor in a GPO Telephone Engineering School in the
Midlands. Telephone Engineers would come in for 2, 3 or 4 week courses on
specific telephone systems. There was an exam at the end and they were
amazed that they could take their books into the exam. They could get all of
the answers from their books, BUT, they had to know 'where to find them'
without spending all the exam time trying to find the answer to the first
question. They had to know "WHERE" to look and to have listened and learnt
and retain 'most' of it in their head.
