I’m halfway through studying for my second part of the exam and am having a hard time focusing at this point. I work full time and just switched jobs so it is a lot of information to retain all at once. Does anyone have any tips on how to stay focused and get back motivation to push through this? I am dead tired by the time work is over and struggle to get up early to study. I find myself wanting to clean the entire house instead of study.

Notecards, notecards, notecards.

When I get distracted like that, I go straight to the book and start writing down notecards. It's a lot easier to motivate myself to do that than to do say 150 MCQs in 3 hours.

I watch Peter Olinto's video about – “You have no friends, I am your only family” and remember why I'm doing this.

I'm right there with you on being discouraged. We've got to help each other.

The sooner you start the sooner you finish is one school of thought. Another thing to ponder is how a lack of motivation could lead to multiple re-takes.

Im often left wondering how a better attitude about the entire process would have helped me. Ive been so close to passing its not even funny. You have to keep yourself sharp, b/c this entire can be very drawn out. I've been testing since 10/2013 with no passing score yet.
