I'm taking 8M for the second time, but I won't start studying yet for a few weeks either. After 6 and then the 7 pre-test I need a little break.

I've got the GRASP and Syllabuster study guides from last year and went to the Mate seminar also, so I have that material too.

I'm taking 8M for the first time too. After doing seminar 7 in March, I'm really having trouble starting in on studying full time. The summer is calling!!!

How's everybody doing so far with 8M? I just finished creating mnemonics from the condensed outline from the MATE study guide. Next week, I'll be taking the Course 7 Seminar in Seattle, and I'll need at least that weekend to recover. After that, I'll be focused again on 8M.

I'm currently reading the material, making notes in the GRASP manual, and working on supplementing what's in the GRASP flash cards with things I need more detail on. I'm almost halfway through, I think... (I'm in the middle of Section B, but by GRASP pagecount, it's almost halfway). However, I think I may need to start using my lunch break at work to start memorizing - there's so much to memorize!

I'm hoping to finally START studying this week. It will depend on my workload. I won't start studying at home until the results for C6 come out. I guess I need to figure out my game plan still. I am soooo not in the mood to study. Maybe I never should have taken a break after the C7 pre-test.

I'm just now recovering from the Course 7 Seminar in Seattle this past week. I think I just may have passed it this time!

How's it going with the studying for 8M? I've read the MATE Detailed Outline, and I'm going over the Case Studies now. I've decided to use MATE as my primary reference and Syllabuster and GRASP as secondary.
