MY study plan. What do you all think ?

in Network+
I would appreciate you insight on my study plan for the Network+ exam.
A year ago, I took a 3-certification class ( A+, Net+, Security+). There was about 24 hours spent in the classroom with an instructor. I read the SYBEX book (4th edition) at that time.
After getting my A+ certification, I concentrated on getting a job.
Now a year later I need to finally study and pass this exam.
I have read the book AGAIN.
I have taken copious notes on index cards ( by chapter ).
I have a lot of test questions on my PC and printed out.
How should I proceed ? Would you recommend Trenscender? It helped me with A+, but now funds are limited.
Should I go chapter-by-chapter with my note cards, then do a ton of practice questions ?
Any tips would be helpful. I cannot afford to fail ![/i]

But that's my own experience.
Generally a good class/video, a book, and a transcender equals success. I just recently starting goofing around with www.vtc.com for their Microsoft Project 2003 class (work thing). Seems inexpensive and good. They have a demo, so you might want to check it out.
Thanks I will.
The classes covered N10-003 and it seemed up to date, although I have no comparison.

Really? Wow that is great !
About how many hours/days/weeks did you study ?
Do you remember your score ?
*Aside*
Has your employment situation changed since getting both Certifications ?

Yea, I was leaning away from transcender myself . I tried it for A+ because I was really uptight about that exam. I found I only went through about half of that material.
*I am memorizing the cable types and distances now ( ie ,10GB base-ER /SMF/10Gbps/40k).
I plan to just do a "braindump" right away on the whiteboard they give you.
Will this help ? Were there a lot of questions about cable type and distances ?

I would definately memorize the table about the cables from the Sybex book. It had everything you need- emphasis on EVERYTHING. I used note cards for the info- cable spec on one side, all details on the other. Be sure to know those cards backward and forward because you'll be tested from both perspectives. Plus, you'll need to know those specs to be able to rule out some answers in other questions.
Also, be sure you know all the OSI layers and major points of each, and know all the details of the bottom three.
My score was a 733 which isnt perfect, but I feel like I know the material very well just very wierd test questions.
