Pressure of studying for the exam

I was told this would happen by a buddy of mines. I have been studying hard the last month and a half and decided to revise my notes. I read over everything and none of it made sense !! I started to panic like oh my god I'll never pass this exam. On top of that I couldn't sleep because I was so worried and when I did sleep, my dreams where about networking !! I got so stressed I just had to stop.

I took 3 days of and never once thought about. I came back to it today and I remembered a lot more and feeling much more comfortable. So what I like to ask has this happened to any of you guys and how did you handle it ?

Just time management, if you work hard enough it'll pay off.

I went over each part of the theory until I could comfortably explain this is how this works and this is how packets would get from point A to point B in the given scenario.

As for the break yeah, I found myself getting lazy and couldn't study for a few days and I found that the information I retained was incredible, the issue is that the books and videos constantly throw terminologies at you that you're not quite yet familiar with.. Gets easier as you get deeper into the 'Realm of Cisco'

As for failing exams, I've never done it, but passing it after failing it would just make the victory so much nicer!
