    I have a similar issue. Right now I have a fair amount of the q   
   estions/answers memorized from the Extra pool,  but I need to buckle down and   
   learn the rest of it before they switch over to the new question pool July 1.   
      
      
   Let me know if you come up with a solution other than "Buckle down and   
   study",  because my ADHD-addled brain might just force my body to run off the   
   nearest cliff if i keep this up. :)
