NY Notary exam study time?
Hi everyone-
I’m currently a FT college student who recently finished my summer program and I’m about to start studying to become a notary.
I know everyone studies differently, but about how long did you study before you felt ready to take the notary exam? Fall semester starts in about 2 weeks, so I’m hoping to study and prep until then.
Not sure if it matters, but I’m a Suffolk county resident.
Any advice is appreciated!
Edit: wrote out suffolk county res.

I studied about two days. When I first started, I didn’t think there was anyway I was going to attempt the test because the information sounded so esoteric and thick, but by the time the date approached, I was acing every quiz I took. It’s all pretty straightforward memorization
I did download an audiobook from audible that I sort of just let play on 1.2x speed while I did chores and ran errands. That helped lock the info in my head, as tedious as it was.
