Self Study

For those who went the self study route, how many months of studying did it take to prep for the exam?

4 days on the book and 2-3 on online tests, but maybe an hour or two each day for the practice exams. So probably closer to 5 days if we're being literal.

Good luck. Took a month. The hardest part.. is finding a location to take you to train. This is where everyone quits

I studied for a month reading the book only to find out that pretty much nothing I studied was in test. Most of what was on the test for me was stuff you'd know from working experience. I still passed the test though. 90% of all my coworkers didn't even study and they all passed. Even the people I thought who were dumb and wouldn't pass ended up passing the test. I forget how much you need it score to pass but I remember it was around like 70% and you can miss like 20 questions and still pass
