Honestly, it sucks a lot, but you can definitely work to prioritize. I'd try my darnedest to be done with work by 7pm so that I could study for a few hours each night. Then I'd study on Saturday or Sunday and try to use one of those days to relax, or do something for my mental health.

You may not have time for anything fun, but stay healthy and take care of yourself. If you want this license, grind it out, and you'll never have to do this ever again. It's hard to study, but if you do it right, it should only take 1-2 years.

Nope. You won’t. This exam will consume you. Any free moment you have should be used to study. I did mini quizzes while waiting online to buy groceries, at a store, waiting for laundry to finish, etc. Say goodbye to social gatherings for a while.

California peeps. I have a feeling I failed FAR, which is my last exam, but my score isn’t released until May 11.

I need to pass by mid June, else my REG score expires, hence the rush to resubmit the re-application.
