@docd no man, left with ck only...will start prep after 2 weeks....plan to appear in end of June or julyish
@randoms ...lol...there were some ups and downs during the exam, generally what ever was discussed here helped me improve my encounters..and trust me if you have practices all FA long cases and 1 minicase per subheading - all timed and in exam mode then this exam will be smooth and easy for you...but practicing it with a partner is needed to develop all the reflexes and finishing it in time!

@cupcake02
Prep takes month or two depending on many factors: Do you have live SP, how many cases you practice a day. How is your typing skills and so on It all depends on your initial state and intensity of your prep. I personally did 4-5 hours a day with partner and rest of the day I just rehearse my lines.

Also I recommend you to read this thread since many questions were asked and answered that you may benefit from. Even your question was asked previously and many more.

Another tip as a bonus for you: that knowing about exam structure and possible situations you may face on top of your study will help you enormously. Familiarizing yourself will reduce level of anxiety and pressure you have during exam. Read more about experiences people had because FA won't teach you that.
