    Taking my exam in 2 weeks from today! I have to say I’ve followed most of these recommendations and it has definitely shown so far, Ive self studied for 3.5 months split equally between content review and practice problems. With the right motivation and dedication to it self studying is definitely a great option and saves you a ton of money compared to a prep course too!

Just make sure you are accountable and actually study for a little bit every day when you do medium intensity. I went to classes then came home and studied every day. It is definitely possible.
