CCSP overload, can someone help me limit my scope?

Guys,

I have been reading quite a bit of CCSP material. I bought the first edition before the second came out. I read it all, took notes and made note cards. I watched the IT Pro TV CCSP training and the Cybrary Training. I went through the CCSP outline and also read the SecaaS 1 to 10 documents. I have gone back and also re-read the CSA CCSK guidance on cloud controls and got the CCSK. I than found the notecards from ISC2 on quizlet and memorized that to. Despite all this preparation I don't feel quite comfortable and I have the test on Wednesday. I think that I may be over preparing in some areas and under preparing on others. So for those that have taken the test, I would like to ask, could someone help me limit my studying by letting me know whether I should look deeper into the following or not at all?

Need to know SANS security Control?
Do I need to know anything about Puppet or Chef in particular?
Do I need to memorize tech roadmaps?
Do I need to know the 27001 components?
Need to memorize the level of nines? (uptime)
Need to know all 10 GAAP principles?
What the difference between DRS and CRS?
DO I need to know about Basel, clever safe, Lun Credit Card Test or HP Digital Safe? (all found in the notes sections)

Now for the section that is truly giving me heart burn : Domain 6icon_rolleyes.gif
I feel that law and compliance are going to be very important. But it's very hard to know which ones to focus on and the level. Any suggestions? How did you guys go about studying them?
