i've driven across the country a few times, by necessity, not by choice... through colorado i had to traverse one of its mountain passes, i can't recall which, there are many... it was however a long way to the bottom and i remember seeing signs that read something like this, "do not be mistaken, you are not down yet" as a warning to truckers to remain in low gear...
so too with studying... remain in low gear, you are not down yet, or done yet...
this stuff often gets stale... you read the same thing over and again and while you think you have it down, you are not down yet... you convince yourself that you know something but upon putting it to the test you realize that you have a vague notion only...
you have to trick yourself to keep the material fresh... you've read it countless times, but if you take away the paragraph can you outline the larger concepts contained therein?
probably not, because if you could you wouldn't be consuming it again...
reading through is not consuming, is not digesting the finer points... read it again and convince yourself first that you know nothing... then read it again as if you'd never read it before... then take it away and see if you can recall the minutiae this time...
the test is not the end... the last thing you want is to remember for the short term and then get blurry 3 months into the next subject event...
when studying for ccent the goal is to carry all that into icnd2 without having to review... you want to carry all of ccna into ccnp, then all of ccnp into ccie...
it's not the test, it is the retention...
have you used anki yet and explored the myriad ways to manipulate the material to make it new every time? thinking of a different way to create a new deck alone is a study method... add graphs, audio, tables... if only they could be made scratch and sniff... incorporate as many of your senses as possible into the study...
