I also created a 80cm x 50cm glossy wall chart with mind map info on ospf and eigrp stuff on it and i'd read it every so often (its stuck on my wall) to keep those funny bits of info fresh in my mind. There's still some space left on it so if I needed to add stuff I can.

Beyond that, I find that doing more labs helps the details "stick" better. For me, something becomes more concrete when I actually do it and have to monkey with it to get it to work, debug it, fix it, etc.

To be honest I would never have passed if it were not for my wife's help and encouragement. I probably would have given up half way through ccna. She is a true beacon of inspiration to me. *soft violins playing*
