I started studying for the level 1 exam at the start of February, and read 2 textbooks a month with complete note taking. The last month was complete practice questions, from the website, from the books, from anywhere I could find them.

I would say I averaged about 2-4 hours a night for the first two months, 4-6 for the third and half of the fourth, and then with two weeks before the exam I took some time off work and put in 10-12 hour days.

They suggest 250 hours of studying, but everyone has a different amount they need to study to be successful.

I went into the exam and felt very confident after it, whereas some of the people I talked to seemed a bit hesitant and stressed out after it.
