When I was first starting my studying a post like this would have been extremely welcome! I am also very glad to see someone else that needs near total silence to concentrate completely. I used ear plugs at the lab every time, and I would highly recommend it. The lab is a noisy place, and being able to block that all out helps a great deal! I was also very excited to see you mention Spaced Learning! I have been a HUGE advocate of Spaced Learning, and I am positive that making my own focused test questions and using Spaced Learning to turn my weakest areas into my strongest was what made the difference for my final attempt! I generally don't cross-link other people's posts on my blog, but I am slowly posting all of my self-made focused test questions on my blog; and this post fits so perfectly with the exact methods I used to pass that anyone who reads my blog must read this post! PS... I'm not sure if you check the comments at CCIE Candidates or Etherealmind, so I will post it on both. -EMP http://blog.phillips.tc Hi Greg,
