If it helps with any benchmarking for yourself, I'm a slow reader, can't memorize anything worth a crap, and I was able to pass the exam with two long days of reading/skimming. I pretty much spent the weekend before the test covering as much of the information as I could, but didn't get to read everything.

I was pretty sure I'd failed, but I must have just made that minimum grade to get the pass (I think 60%?).

I'd also agree with Bandwagoner, read through the smaller booklets first, as they're fairly easy to get through. You're definitely going to get questions from them, which are less easy to guess right than most of the ethics questions.

My approach is that worst case scenario is that I'd fail, but know what I had to focus on for a re-write. My free time is more valuable to me than the cost of writing the test, and I wasn't willing to spend weeks/months going through and memorizing the material like some of the people I talked to at the exam had done. A fail doesn't impact your resume or Apegga status in any way, so its nothing to stress about.
