Never counted. Just studied whenever I got time. I have 20 min of not doing anything at work? Time for MCQ…if I had something I HAD to do after work, I did it…just study on all your free time. Except weekends where you may be studying from 10-5 and have the night free, as long as there isn't a time in your day where you're just relaxing outside of sleeping, youll be fine.

AUD - July 2014 - 76
REG - August 2014 - 82
FAR - November 2014 - 78
BEC - January 2015 - 81

DONE!!!!

Used Becker online. Who needs a text when you can burn your eyes out staring at the screen for months on end?

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you're hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!"

Everyone is going to study differently based on their schedule and their needs.

Fully time 9 to 5 job here (Government so it truly is a 9 to 5 job). I usually spend about half an hour at lunch and about 2 hours in the evenings. On the weekend I try and spend about 4 to 6 hours a day.

Worked full time and have 3 small children. I had set study days on two weekdays from 6-10 or 11 p.m. and all day Saturday, which ranged from 8-12 hours. I averaged 20-25 hours per week for 8-10 weeks for FAR. I study more in the last week or so leading up to the exam. 8 weeks is a good time frame. If you study much longer than that you start losing knowledge and getting burnt out I think.
