    Also, what were your scores? I’m planning on devoting 1000 hours(I want to absolutely master the stuff). Are they enough?

    Yes they are more than enough – but remember it’s about the effectivness of study not the ‘time amount’.

    Personally I have never counted hours which I have spent on studying.

    1000 hours! How will you manage that? 1000 hours / 120 days = around 8 hours each day!! Do you not work or intend to have a life at all over the next 4 months?
    You should be realistic about what you are able to do. Make a plan of what you are going to study and be ready about six weeks prior for revision.
    I wish you luck and admire that you intend to do this much work

    F7 – I did weekly classes circa 3 hours x 14 weeks + 3 hours a week + Revision classes, 24 hours + 3 weeks cramming, 60-80 hours, Total = 170 – 190 hours maximum. Got 70%.

    F9 – I say I did slightly less similar to the above 150-170 hours and got 61%.

    I just done F8 & P2 in Dec 14

    I say I did less than 100 hours F8 & over 220 hours P2.

    Will get F8 & P2 is knife-edge….so you aren’t always rewarded for time you put in.

    Well I guess I’ve been overestimating. Eight hours a day is pretty realistic and doable though and that too without sacrificing your social life. I wake up at like 5. I start studying at 7 until 4 including some breaks. You can do whatever you want in the evening or late evening.

    As another poster said, it all depends on the productivity of your time.

    2 hours of quality focussed work is better than 4/5 hours of poor work.
