So who here uses their dry erase marker and the yellow scrap pad to study with all the time?

I'm debating on whether or not I should just start biting the bullet now, and simply get used to this thing. Its smelly and messy but at some point I need to really practice and become as efficient with it as possible.

Any tips?

I'd start early so you can get used to the annoyance; the longer you wait, the harder it will be to become accustomed to it, and the more likely it is that you'll end up handicapping yourself on the exam. Besides, the way you use your scratch paper and how your handwriting is effected by the marker can be important factors in your timing. Basically, the more closely your practice resembles actual test conditions, the better off you'll be on test day.

Getting used to the laminated paper might be important for you (it didn't really make a difference to me- just knowing that it was coming was enough), but make sure that you write down your notes elsewhere after your done. You don't want to lose all of the important information you can get from your practice

Wow, that's some solid advice! I could easily picture myself erasing my work after being done, and never re-copying the important notes!
