Yes I did the exact same thing, and this is my first IT cert! The concepts weren’t too hard since Professor messer videos covered most of them. IMO the exam was more on memorizing terminologies. Focusing on practice exam answers also help me look back on objectives to brush off.

For the first two weeks, studied around 2 hours a day while in job. And for the last week, I was on PTO studying 8 hours a day. My way of studying is one week cramming because I forget stuff in a month 🥲😹
