    So what's going on? Do you find the material dry/boring? Life got in the way? What is it?

    I am not sure if I study too much and not sit down quickly or begin too tired, I am trying to keep focus.

    I am a little slow in the exams that's the reason I've been working with time management for the exam and I feel tha killed me

    Perhaps you worked yourself to the point where you need a short break to rest and then bounce back. Have you tried going a day with minimal studying just to let yourself relax? Sometimes I find that when I bounce back from a rest I am even more pumped than before.

    It happens to everyone. Break down a couple small steps and get started again.

    In the real world you won't get any promotions based on your half finished projects.

    Good Luck!

    This is a very good point! Also a day of exercise could do wonders. Sometimes we sit at a desk so long we let our bodies get lazy!

    I've been where you currently are. It took me 3 years to get prepared, with a number of dead ends and I lost motivation several times. It wasn't until 3 months before I got up and decided, enough is enough!

    You may want to consider just scheduling the exam. Personally, I’m horrible at focusing on an issue unless I have a deadline. I was also getting cold feet, so on a Friday afternoon I scheduled it for the upcoming Wednesday. I kicked my family out of the house and spent the weekend studying.I used a training video that I purchased from a company that is, sadly, no longer around (http://www.prweb.com/releases/2011/5/prweb8368116.htm) and CISSP for Dummies. I skimmed the areas in which I was already familiar and focused on areas which I knew that I wasn’t strong. This constituted 95% of my total studying effort and it was unceremoniously crammed into a weekend.

    Turn up the heat! It is crazy, but it does feel so good to get it out of the way!

    I suspect that's the part I did not do, schedule the exam. I need to do that this week, so I can focus like crazy.

    I will set it August 2
