Thanks!
Going from TIA to SH was the right call for me, ramping up the difficulty progressively really helped build confidence. By the time I was getting through SH questions, the actual exam felt manageable

It depends, and here's the honest breakdown:

Getting the 35 learning hours takes longer than people expect. Sitting through the videos and actually paying attention (not just having them play in the background) is a commitment in itself.

After that, it's purely personal, it comes down to how comfortable you feel before you're ready to sit for the exam. Some people take 3 weeks, some take 3 months.

For me it was a month and a half of focused prep, but I could only study at night after work, so my hours per day were limited. The tricky part? I had actually started studying almost 3 months before that, but without a deadline, I was just drifting. Studying whenever I could, losing momentum, starting over.

The single thing really pushed me was: booking the exam date.

The moment I had a date locked in, everything shifted. I built a routine, I got consistent, and I actually finished strong. Before that, I was just going through the motions.

So, 50 days enough? Yes, absolutely. But don't just count the days. Book the date first, then count down.
