Well, I finally ponied up the money and reserved my seat for April 10th. I was going to wait until Friday to do it, but decided to get it done. Hopefully that'll light a fire under my rear to get me studying harder.
I have taken heart from my studies, and decided to implement a plan based on the results of some of the experiments talked about in the prep material. My study plan consists of 5 days of GRE Prep per week with 2 days off from it. (This is while taking 3 classes at the same time, too... o.O )
Day 1 - Subject 1
Day 2 - Subject 2
Day 3 - 2 days after studying an item, the material 'settles' and you retain about 50% of what you actually studied. So at this point, I go back and study Subject 1 again, adding to the information retained.
Day 4 - As with day 3, but for subject 2
Day 5 - Break from studying for GRE work on other classes or if I got all my homework done, take a break from things, and pay attention to my wife before she starts wanting to smother me in my sleep.
Day 6 - (IE Saturday) set aside time in the day to review Subject 1 and Subject 2
Day 7 - Day off, time with my family... If I have work that I haven't gotten done for school at this point, I really need to reevaluate my course load. :p
Day 8 is day 1 of the prior week and starts subject 3
Day 9 is day 2 of the prior week and starts subject 4
Day 10 is review of Subject 1, 2, & 3
Day 11 is review of Subject 1, 2, & 4
And so on... We'll see how well it all works out for me... ROFL
Does anyone else have any kind of study plan that works for them? This is experiemental for me, but I'm interested to see the results of how it turns out. (IE whether it actually helps cement the knowledge or my methodology is just flatout wrong... :ack: )

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Wile E. Coyote, genius. I am not selling anything nor am I working my way through college, so let's get down to basics: you are a rabbit and I am going to eat you for supper. Now don't try to get away, I am more muscular, more cunning, faster and larger than you are, and I am a genius, while you could hardly pass the entrance examinations to kindergarten, so I'll give you the customary two minutes to say your prayers.
Bachelor of Science in PsychoRabbitology degree
Master of Education with a specialty in Rabbit-specific destructive munitions (or eLearning & Technology, I forget which)
Doctor of Philosophy in Wile E. Leadership with an area of specialty in Acme Mind Expansion - 2017 Hopefully
