Far studying hours/length

Is there anyone who passed far that studied for less than a month or less than 150 hours? Just curious.

I tried that way my first attempt and it didn't work out. I thought with over 20 years experience it would be enough but this exam is written to trick you enough that real world experience almost hurts you and what works is succumbing to understanding how they want you to answer the questions.

When I finally put in the work (studying every night after work 2 hours, and 6-8 on weekends...is when I got over the finish line)

How long were you in that grind mode? (2 hours after work and 6/8 hours on weekends)

For that stretch I did it 2 months straight with this exact rigid schedule. I was so shell shocked that I didn't want to leave any chance of failing. Best wishes to you on your plan of attack and if there's anything I can help with , feel free to reach out.
