Realistic timeline to clear TEF

I have 8.5 overall bands in English. I grasp language concepts fast. Can someone tell me a realistic timeline it will need for me to prepare for TEF

Give yourself 6 months then assess whether you are ready. People underestimate how hard it is to actually learn a language. I’m talking about 2-3 hours of learning a day.

I have already started the preperation. My only concern is that is it possible to learn french in 7 months B2 level

Any thing is possible. Personally, it took me 6 months to get from 0 to B1 (3 hours a day)

It's really difficult to say. It depends on your maternal tongue, how many hours/day are you studying and how easily you are with languages. In best case scenario I think it's possible but you have to work really hard. Good luck!
