Thoughts???
Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions....

Since you asked......I would resist the "cram" option and lean towards the steady-progressive-retention option via the 4 R's (see below).
The key is to gain the ability to recall the information for your exam that has been transferred from your short-term memory to your long-term memory without a prolonged hesitation.
You have 2 weeks to go, how about studying from now (progressively) and refreshing (mini-cram) a few days before?
You asked, so I suggested.......
Hoping you do well and Happy 2007
