I also work full-time atm. So just some insight on how/when I study. I do drills/review during my 30 min morning commute (by train) to and from work. If I can, I also try to study during my lunch break. After work, I try to squeeze in another 1-2 hours immediately after I get home. This is just because once I get home I tend to feel really tired from work, the week etc that my brain is just crapped out. And then I do the bulk of my studies on the weekend. At the end of Sunday I usually am getting materials I want to work on prepped for the following week.

Like previous poster, I agree it's what you are comfortable with while being consistent. I think you'll find out after the first week or so when you'll have the time and mental resources to afford study during the work week. Just remember not to half-heartedly do sets/lessons when you're tired from work. Pushing just to finish doesn't help anyone in the long run. Quality > Quantity.

@ do you have tips on how you've adjusted? The later RC's have been really killing me. Everyone seems to rec things a little differently too. So been trying everything I can to see what works!

@ @.hopkins

Still think this is a great idea. Its motivating and something to look forward to in the meantime. Pre-36 so we could mix in some PTs from 1-35. Not sure how many people have access to those though

Ah thank you for the clarification. I mixed up the deadline to register (which is in May) vs actual opening of registration. Whoops

Both days/times work for me. I've redone the hell out of PT 29-40 so starting from 45 works great :)

Thank you for putting this together~

In a similar boat as you. So i'll just give my opinion...

Since registration deadline for June is around May. What I am doing is studying/reviewing and PTing (once closer to exam date) with the intent of taking it in June. Depending on how I feel about my timed PT avg. around May or earier I will consider taking it in June or deferring to Sept/Oct. Taking it in Sept/Oct is not late imo. Seems like most ED deadlines arent even up til around Nov. 15.

Also, the starter is 3 months, includes full PTs at the end. Ideally you'd want to be solely PTing/reviewing towards the last month or so. Everyone has an individual pace, so you may or may not want to give yourself more than just 3 months. Better safe than sorry. Also, careful with giving yourself a strict 3 month constraint, be flexible as burnout is real. Plus, you'll likely want to end up buying additional PTs. This will get your access extended so don't gotta worry about the 3 month thing really.
