So I finally finished reading and going through the cpne study guide today. Talk about a tedious task. I get really bored reading sonetimes which makes me sleepy. But its done and i took notes throughout the entire thing. I treated it like an exam. It really does have a lot of great info and tips in there. Its laid out exactly like we will encounter in whatever foreign city we go to.

I felt it was important to go through the entire guide slowly since it was recommended by Lunah and also its one of the only study pieces EC gives you. I am trying to perfect my critival element mneumonics. I know i most likely wont be able to remember others so i need to make them my own and/or make a new set. So now that i have notes fromeach aoc i will use the CE checklist/ scoring tool in the back to make my mneumonics. I do feel like im making this part too difficult, but i also feel like i need to make them something that i will easily remember. I have been reading tons of journals and i am only reading positive items. I hope im doing the right thing. I cant afford not to pass but im sure we are all feeling this way too. After i make my mneumonics, ill concentrate on memorizing them, originally being a theater major im hoping it wont be too hard, practicing my lab stations i setup at home, and assessing my fake pt and also my kids. This is my gameplan til i test on aug26-28.

Any suggestions??

no suggestions, just wanted to say good luck, i am in the same boat... i am trying my best to read all the info on the study guide.
