Studying 2 to 3 hours a day for 2 or 3 days a week is realistic with frequent breaks during the studying. The new graduate should consider taking the exam within 2 to 3 weeks of obtaining your Authorization to Test. Cramming before the examination will not improve your pass rate. Studying for 8 hours a day is fatiguing and does not necessarily promote retention of the infor-mation.
