I've been studying for one now since the beginning of summer and keep moving the date back that I want to take it (now set at before the new year). The studying is unpleasant (boring "nonsense") and when I quiz myself over time I don't pass (too much time goes by between when I learn something and when I quiz it to make sure I have it and move on) which starts another round of anxiety, etc.

I'm trying to make things smaller. I have 50 question practice tests and I'm "studying" 10 questions a day, that sort of thing. I got a 100 on the first 10 but only 60 on the second, sigh. So now what? Do I go back to studying the second 10 subjects or press on and try the third 10 and come back or what? The amount of material makes me anxious; it's like I'm juggling and can't keep it all going at once.
