Taking Net+ tomorrow

I got A+ last year, and took a Network+ class which ended last week, and tomorrow morning I do the certification.
Anyone have any good suggestions for practice tests or pointers/etc?
I searched the forum, and found a few topics, but they were rather old, and I thought I might as well start another.

I think I did alright in the class, and if I pass the certification, I'll most likely be able to officially enroll in the college for credit (I'm only 14, and since I don't have a GED, I had to just sit in on the A+, Principles of Computing, and Net+ classes without getting credit).

The class was based around the Network+ textbook/study guide by Tamara Dean, which in my opinion was inferior to the A+ book in a few ways, but it is complete. It has practice tests, a full explanation of the objectives and a page dedicated to each one, and it came bundled with a few CDs with practice exams, but one of them is nothing like CompTIA's certification, and the other is, but it only has 50 questions in the database...

Anyway, any suggestions about what I need to short-term memorize? I have about 2 1/2 hrs before I leave, and then I'll get home just in time for bed, so I have time to cram some tables of port numbers, segment lengths and protocols, and whatever else I might need.

Wish me luck

Thanks.
Well, I went into the testing center, and they said my name wasn't anywhere on the schedule for that day, and I checked on it, and apparently I was supposed to be there a month earlier. I was almost sure I had click April 29th, but apparently March 29th went through.

Now I have to buy another voucher :/

vouchers dont last longer or they arent transferrable??

2 bad cuz that one aint cheap.

I did a N+ cram class..should have taken the exam right away cuz I had it fairly wired.

Look over the charts for things like the OSi model and some of the specs for things like ADSL modes (carrier channels and all that crap I have forgotten) and the IEEE 802.xx numbers....for instance IEEE 802.5 is token ring etc..IEEE 802.3 is CSMA/CD (Ethernet)

I'm going to have to buy one online, the asking price seems to be about $150. I paid $105 at the college bookstore for my first, but then since I used it to register a time, and to their eyes missed my test, they consider it useless, and the bookstore can't order any and get it to me by the 6th, which is the deadline when the results must be turned in.

And I'll have to make a special trip to Albuquerque, 3 hrs away, because the college's testing slots are filled up.
