Every person goes through the same exact thing you are. I had to deal with it myself and it was the most frustrating part of the exam. I took it when the 5000 was still in the mix so I can't help much. The only thing I would suggest is cover all the major topics and know where on the CD to find the little stuff. It sux I know, but no matter what anybody tells you regarding the topics it really won't narrow the scope. Even if somebody tells you exactly what they had, each exam is completely different with a whole new set of topics.
