With good strategy you can pass with 3 months study. However if you need a high score then you may require longer

better have 6-7 months,,,that is ideal time..if u will have a goal of finishing in 3 months it can be lethal as u wont get prep in this much time ...u will try to do qs ..and u will get a bad score in q bank etc ...and all of it will frustate u..untill unless u are a extraordinary genious ..u should take 6-7 months ....as u are old graduate also u will need + couple of months not less..
