I studied in earnest for like a year but I was doing like 20-30 mins 4 days a week. And I probably could have taken it ealier. Ending score was 740.

So where in the low to mid 600s

Started with sub 700 practice score. For me it was a marathon not a sprint.
2 hours each week day and 8 hours each weekend day. About 300 hours total over 3 months.
770 on first try.
You can do it!

I did the exact opposite: took a week of beach time to study 2-3 hours a day then took a week of PTO. From end to end took me less than 2 weeks. Ended up at 770. It’s a sprint not a marathon!

1 year on and off. Probably 7 real months of studying an hour a day.
