 I have a similar issue. Right now I have a fair amount of the 
questions/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. :)

Mike
