In my frank opinion, this thread is headed no where. It is strictly a waste of time. I would suggest people concentrate on hitting whatever they propose to do on their own time, instead of creating a blog for the same. The time is better served that way. Sorry for being a spoil sport, but I have been thro’ this beast before, and I know how each minute, though seemingly trivial now, becomes important closer to the exam. CP

i agree with cpk123
Me too. Furthermore, I would say that trying to compare yourself with other people studyng for this exam is completely pointless. This exam isn’t curved much and it’s about learning the LOS.
