Chuck,
You have actually covered all the material for this exam, so all you need now is
practice recalling it from the deepest and darkest regions of your brain. Just
get the Boson tests for CID, and continually drill from those questions and
review all your wrong answers from your reference material until you fully
understand all the questions and answers cold. Those 250-300 extra practice
questions should provide enough cerebral excercise to take you over the top of
CID. This at least worked for me. Good luck!
