I realized that the test was not impossible but that skipping study for several weeks would be a double setback. A technique I used to remedy this was of great annoyance to my wife. For any day when I did not read one page or practice just a few potential questions, I would place a post-it note with the letters "Citrix " on the bedroom wall. Believe me -- as those of you who are married will know -- after about a dozen or so notes have been stuck on the bedroom wall, your significant other will notice. To rectify this situation, all I had to do was study, and one note at a time would come down. These constant reminders reinforced my determination and encouraged me to keep going.
In regard to the exams, I do not recommend splitting up the test. If you are looking for an easy way out by trying to take the Citrix exam in two parts, you will be in for a surprise. The Citrix 1Y0-351 Practice Test, known as the best exam, is approximately 75 minutes for 45-55 questions. The CCNA 640-811 exam, which is known as the ICND and is more difficult, is approximately 60 minutes with 40-50 questions. I know several people who have skated through the INTRO and have repeatedly failed the ICND. Since you have already accepted the fact that this is a challenging test, you will have no fear of taking the one exam, 1Y0-351, which is approximately 90 minutes, with 55-65 questions. If you play the probabilities, you will significantly improve your chances of success with this time window of 90 minutes.
