You're right about picking it up as you go. The DocCD is a "familiar"
thing, or an experience thing.
The suggestion that I give to my students is that you take a lab, or
something you've done before, and do the lab again. However, do the lab and
pretend that you aren't really bright. Look EVERYTHING up. No matter what
it is, pretend you don't know it.
As you get into the habit of looking things up, you will become more
familiar with the structure for fast lookups on the CD. You may learn
something new along the way as well. But the real idea is that if you
already KNOW the answer anyway, you at least have an indication when you
find the correct place on the DocCD.
Nothing can replace this experience with the only reference you will have in
the middle of the lab. For some things, you WILL need the CD. Nobody can
memorize everything. :)

Agreed,
I think this is "pickup as you go along" knowledge, something that you learn
as part of the base technologies. I find that I usually save the DocCd for
the obsure items that I forget in the heat of the moment...and these usually
come well after I finish the core items. If you find yourself looking up the
basic things related to the core it may be time to take a review at your
study plan and plan accordingly...You dont need to be slowed down at the
beginning of the test looking for things to complete your core.
