Time to panic

in CCNA & CCENT
So I've been working full time in a non-IT role that involves lots of back shifts, during this time I've been trying to keep up with my studying and I've worked my way through 3 semesters of CISCO Network Academy and I've pretty much rushed through the 4th in the space of a month, I've not had any difficulties with the exams so far (bar some cursing at EIGRP in one of the practicals), but I'm kinda dreading the 4th which I've got scheduled for on Thursday night as I think there's a lot about frame relays and WAN protocols that I need to go over again.
If I pass the final semester okay I'm aiming to do the CCNA exams the following weeks, how much harder are the real exams compared to the final exams in netacad as I'm starting to panic quite a bit.

    I found the exams with the netcad to be much harder than the real exam. I would still recommend reading another ccna text book like Todd Lamel's.

    The classes overload you with information not needed for the exam. I had a friend go through the classes and he gave me that advice, and I am passing it on to you.

    Frame relay is not that big of a beast. The big thing I have seen so far is getting ACL's down.

    It depends on which route you want to go,if it is the two route way i.e icnd1 and icnd2,frame relay is in icnd2 but if you want to go in the one route way i.e 640-802 you need to know frame relay,as it was said above you need to be well rounded in acl, nat and vlan
