I almost thought that I had written your email :) I find with pressures of self employment, the only way to take time out to study is to book an exam, and not allow yourself to re-schedule it.
This forces me to study..

Peter Walker CISSP, CSS1, CIPTSS, CCNP, CCIP, CCDP, etc PS. I do NOT recommend doing things the way I did. It's just that I am terrible at motivating myself to actually study unless the exam is really imminent. If I had set myself a proper study plan and stuck to it I would probably have a much more relaxed 24 hours prior to the CID test :-) ============================================= This email has been content filtered and subject to spam filtering.
