Eric,
It depends more on your experience rather than your study skills.
I feared the FRS exam for quite some time because I heard everyone talk about how difficult it was. In fact, I didn't take any of the exams because I didn't think I was ready (I learn by doing, not studying and forgetting). I now have my CCNA, CCDA, CCNP, and CCDP. I got all of them within a short 4 week period and scored quite well on the exams. I didn't really study much, only a few doc's and some practice tests.
Now, I would say that it wasn't anywhere near as bad as I thought, but I also have Ten years of real-world experience.
The point here is this; Don't assume that the tests are hard just because other people say they are, they may not know as much as you do.
...On to the CCIE (I bet I'll have to study for that one, huh?)

-=]To All,
-=] I've been trying to post this for the past three days,
-=]so if it is
-=]duplicate for some I apologize in advance. The results were
-=]posted last
-=]Friday and I already received my score sheet from Sylvan, so
-=]to say the
-=]least I was surprised that I passed. I just wanted to pose
-=]a question to
-=]the people on this list with this question. Is it possible
-=]that the Beta
-=]tests are actually easier than the exam once it goes live?
-=]I have been
-=]reading that everyone has passed these Beta exams, but I
-=]have not heard of
-=]one person that has failed. Is this just a fluke? I just
-=]can not believe
-=]that I passed the Remote Access, Switching, and Routing Beta
-=]exams and
-=]didn't even study or crack a book. I just planned on taking
-=]them to see
-=]what the test were going to be like. I have my CIT
-=]scheduled for next week
-=](I would of taken it also, but I couldn't get a time), so
-=]hopefully by the
-=]end of the month I'll be a CCNP. I've read some posts on
-=]the CID that
-=]aren't that encouraging, so I think I'll actually buy a book
-=]and study that.
-=]Let me know what you think about this and maybe shed some
-=]light on the whole
-=]thing for me. Thanks for everyone's help!
