    You are suffering massively from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impostor_syndrome. No one apart you cares about you being able to pass a qualifying exam. No one is able to do science alone. If you need to know something, you will either ask a colleague, a peer, or someone at a conference. If you feel that your questions to the others are too basic, try harder to work on your own. One can define research exactly as "getting stuck in solving trivial things, without loosing the big picture. Although it turns out the trivial things are never really trivial".
