Don't bother, if this is how you're feeling. Sure you might pass level 1 with some determination but that's the easy part, levels 2 and 3 are another ball game.
I passed all three first try. And it really, really sucked. I don't mean to sound negative but if you're serious about getting your charter, and you have to be in order to get it, you will hate your life.

This post sums it up perfectly. There is nothing casual about studying for 4-6 months straight and trying to pass an exam with a 35-40% pass rate.
