well i was sat on my heels with my head in hands rocking away like a madman last night!!
I've got less than 4 weeks till i take the exam and have to say im REALLY not ready for it or at least it feels that way.
For once I think I may have bitten off more than I can chew.
My study technique has been poor in comparison ot other areas I've studied but I think thats because its ALL theory or least it feels like that to me. I've always been a hands on kinda guy and used the practical side of things to backup\confirm the theory where I can.
I've worked through the AIO and CBT's and various other documents I've used for cross reference, but still dont feel like its sinking in.
My plan for the next 3 weeks is to go through as many practice questions and revise my study notes as I go, but I dont feel positive about any of it :-/
Guess last night was tough cos I ruined my dinner too and had to let swmbo take over lol (Trust me if you knew how she cooked you'd understand how bad state of mind i was in)
Can I say I HATE cissp lol ok maybe not quite but I feel like I'm banging my head against a wall.
oh well I'll keep plugging away and hopefully my mind will start to retain some of it.
Soirry guys just wanted to let off some steam....

Take a couple days off and do nothing. It sounds like you're burning out and trying to cram more in won't help you atm.
I'm mainly using the AIO and i'm taking 5 points i think summarize each chapter and memorize them as best i can. I review them once a week and study other stuff the rest of the time. In my last two week i plan to do nothing but review questions and practise exams. -

Four weeks is a relatively long time. As mentioned, don't burn out and keep working towards your goal, slowly but surely. I'm sure you'll be more optimistic after each passing week. Good luck! -
