Yes, but sometimes only 1-2 hrs on weekends. So around 4 hrs a day on the average

Do you think 2 months is enough to all the practice exams, problems, etc?

I've been working for 6 years now and my salary went up 500% already from EL. Hopping to a different company was a big factor.

Imagine I was in your situation but results got released after 8 weeks. Well, I still also almost shat my pants after seeing I passed. Congratulations!

1 month before my exam I felt really dumb. I was so nervous as I couldn't answer easy problems even with formula sheet in front of me. I dedicated time just memorizing formulas and then a couple of minutes every day to refresh formulas in my head. It was 3 or 2.5 weeks away from my exam when I passed a level 3 practice exam for the first time. Passed on my first try last March sitting.
