Lost my focus

I have this exam scheduled for the 13th of Sept, but I cannot seem to get myself into a study routine like I did for the 210 and 215.

I thought the whole deadline thing would work, but so far it has not (I already pushed it off an xtra week). I think it would be better if I thought I could not reschedule, like how it is with the betas.

Anyone run into this brick wall before? How did you snap out of it? Any tips?

I think I already know the material well, but I can't seem to get myself to sit down and review or take practice exams.

This is the last exam for my MCSA status, so understandably, I would like to put it behind me.

Thanks in advance guys! If anyone has tips, its the members on this board.

JB: I think tanking on the 214 is still in the back of my mind

Or maybe it's the crashing PC/power outage experience I had with the 297 beta.

That is all a bit of a distraction. First I'd like to say that it is best to press on to victory rather than languish on with a couple of distractions.

Where are you at in your prep for 218? Sounds like you could use a short break. Reflect on your goals and objectives. Steel your determination. This is a marathon, not a sprint.

I failed 216, on my first attempt. It really crystalized my understanding of the process of preparation. A tough break or two will only add to your experience. Have a good weekend!
