Hmm, that's interesting .... I wonder if maybe you did things to far in advance. How long did you study for? I know the longest I did was 5 weeks, and I'd always KILL myself the last 4 days. Generally I barely made it through all the material but it was all fresh come test day (except for FAR, that was a crapload of information).

One thing I noticed while doing Becker is that Olinto often says "know this inside and out".... Honestly you don't need to know it inside and out. Know it decently well and that's it. The sims are such a wild card, you have no idea what sim you are going to get, that its pointless knowing topics inside and out unless you are shooting for a 99. But often I was scared by all the times he said that and knew I didn't have time to memorize everything he said to know "inside and out". Thus I spent my time knowing everything like 80% ....rather then knowing some things inside and out and not knowing the rest of the material. Just be careful, you can end up being an expert on some topics that may not even show up on your exam.
