I doubt you would take any longer than me.  I'm 57, and will be spending about 20 hours a week between now and April 25, preparing for Audit.

The good thing is that I really cant do much for the
wedding the upcoming weeks because I will be getting
married in another state so only able to prepare 3 days
before the wedding. The rest of the time it will be FAR,
FAR, & FAR. I'll be back home a week before the exam to
refresh...gotta roll with the punches.

I try to study 15-18 hours a week. Two on weekdays and 4
weekends.

I actually have been documenting my Study hours for the past three weeks I studied 30 hours, 30 hours and 40 hours. However Overall
I have been studying for 3 months now and I would average
between 25-35 hours a week...I just finished classes in
December and there are still areas i feel sketchy about
(especially disclosures). I have three weeks before the
test and I estimate 40 hours this week, 50 hours the next
week (I am off from work on vacation) and another 50
hours the week after. What I generally find is that If I
give it 1 hour in the morning before work, 1/2 hour
during lunch (sometimes) and then 3 hours on a normal
school night (I take 3 classes mostly jokes)then 6 more
hours between my days off is how I do it. I also have
adapted the walk and review card method when I go to work
but I don't count that during study time tho. This is the
first time I'm taking a part so I'll tell you how it
turns out

Realistically, should we be doing every single Wiley question, or are the "minimum questions to do" generally enough? I know the obvious answer would be to do as many as you can before the test date, but I'm wondering about the success rate of candidates who have only done the suggested questions.

I would think (but I am new) that making sure you have the minimum mc concepts MASTERED and then working in the test bank as much as possible. I have a friend that uses Wiley only and she says working the questions is the priority...  she said look why you got it right and why you got it wrong.

I am interested to hear what others have to say....
