Network+ student Struggling to Pass

in Network+
Good Afternoon/Evening/Morning to everyone!
About 2 weeks ago, I took the N10-006 exam thinking I had everything covered and knew all I needed to pass. Boy was I wrong! I walked out with a piece of paper with "Student Score: 454."
This comes after 1 year +/- of on/off studying, utilizing ProfessorMesser, Mike Meyers' Network+ Exam Guide, Cybrary.it, and CompTIA Network+ N10-006 Practice Test Questions (GetCertifiedGetAhead) Kindle edition.
I find increasing trouble with objectives 1.2, 1.4, 1.7, 2.4, 2.6, 4.3, 4.5, and 4.8. Could be considered some type of learning block?
My goal is to re-take the exam in June this year. Would anyone care to share their study habits?
Thanks in advance!

Last year I passed my first IT exam first time with 3 months of hard study. I was doing 2 hours a day during weekdays and sometimes more on weekends.
But before those 3 months I was studying on and off for 6 months, an hour now and then. It didn't help because I've already forgotten the material.
I used plenty of resources and review each section. I also researched topics on the Internet to learn more.
Take some practice tests and review your incorrect answers.
Good luck!
What I do while studying is next: Read the material and take notes of important things (easier to remember if I take notes).. go over objective list and review topics which you can't identify. Finally do tests and take notes on the wrong answers. GO back and review topics where you are answering wrong.
As above : go back through your material , if something is mentioned or a term is mentioned several times throughout your material and you can't say what it is exactly, jot it down and google it and understand it.
a very quick checklist of your own might be useful too i.e
can i subnet?
do i know all the well known ports?
do i know STP and split horizon
do i know my TIA/EIA wiring
do i know my tools and their uses
do i know my cables /distances /speeds etc
try do quizzes from diff sources, the way comptia ask questions on the exam can throw your mind off, so the more unusual the practice tests you do the more prepared you will be for the exam
make a check list if you know bits then you can focus more on things you don't
1 year is too long period for study one subject. At the end you wont remember first chapters. Make a break and back to books for max 3 months, summarizing everything you learned in last week.
xx+ certs...and I'm not counting anymore
