I’m just curious about how some people can take one test after another (and pass) with only a few weeks in between. I personally work 9hr days, have a 30-min commute, and have a 3 yr old at home. I try to study a few hours after work and most of the day on weekends and give myself a several months between tests. My husband has taken on the brunt of the childcare/housework during this episode of our lives and I still feel unprepared. Maybe I’m just not focused enough???

@bhmnrhpsdy LOL I sleep. The Kid is in bed by 830 so I can get in at least 1-2 hours. I have to admit that most of my good/great study time is done on the weekends.

I work 40 hours/week, and have a 5 year-old step-son every week/other weekend. I study from 8 – 11 or 12 during the week (take Friday off), and get in 10-15 hours over the weekend. I work 2 lectures per week, and give myself 2 weeks of review. To me it is important to maintain some sort of social/family life. I take off Friday, and spend a lot of time on Saturday and Sunday not studying. It is personal preference, but for me, it is better to take time off, than spend numerous hours “studying” while wishing you were doing anything else.
