Scott,
I would highly recommend to stop all the reading and start banging
away at the rack! You need to practice practice practice to build up
your speed.
You can read every Cisco book under the sun and they will still throw
stuff at you that you never read before.
What is the only defense against this? Finish your core stuff with
blazing speed. That will leave you with plenty of time to look up the
more obscure stuff.
Have a good holiday,
Greg
