Depends on how I'm feeling and what I'm studying for.

For my 70-271 I was doing 1-2 hours a day.
For my 70-272 I was doing 2-3 hours a day.

For my 70-621 I'm hitting 4-5 hours a day, purely due to the content of the exam (that it's a combination of two, 620 & 622).

I'm in the same boat as you. I want to get everything done quick sharp because there's no point in waiting around and I can progress quite easily given I'm qualified enough.

There was no gap between 272 and 621 though, so I might take a week no revision once (if) I pass.

All booked up for the 13th

So yeah... 20 hours + for me.

Qs

 

I study in spats, at the moment very little in a few days a lot.

 

I try to do between 2-3 hours a day, but generally do more on the weekends. I spend time reading notes while on the bus which adds up

 

Depending on which part of my study cycle I'm in and work/social commitments I can do anything from about 10 to over 40 a week.
At the moment I'm in my "overview" stage of the studying so I allow myself more time off (I can't study the morning after the night before) and generally take it easy on the studying, working towards targets each day rather than time limits. Maybe 2-3 hours 5 days a week.
Once I'm targeting my weak spots I ramp it up a little, probably hitting 3-4 hours 6 days a week.
In my final run in I can easily hit 40 hours a week.

That averages out around 21 a week I think.

 

Agreed. For my 272 I didn't even read the MS Press book. Purely used CBT Nuggets and Readiness Review Suite.

It's all down to how much you already know, how confident you're feeling and how difficult the material is.

Qs

 

It varies a lot. Not doing much at all at the moment struggling to find the motiation to finish MS221.

On average over the last 18 years probably around 25 hours per week.

I tend to read a lot of computer books in my spare time. I mainly read non certification related IT books.

I also play with various stuff.

If I'm reading an interesting book, learning new tech on a project or cramming for an exam it can be 40+ hours.

 

Seeing as my main job ATM is stay at home father and full time Uni student I do a lot of study. I put in about 20+ a week for the Uni which is all IT at this point, and then maybe another 10-15 for certs depending on what I'm working on and how much homework I've got.

 

I haven't studied at all for roughly a year and a half.

I want to pick it up again but I can't really decide what to do, the comptia security+ and or server+, 70-620/21/22, 70-536, continue to mcsa with 291 and 350......aaargg my brain hurts.

 

I don't study much. I'll usually skim a book before taking an exam.

 

If I reading up on a specific exam then I will do 2-3 20 minute session per day but since I am using and doing IT stuff all the time I try to retain that knowledge which helps better than any book

 

1 nugget a day ~ 30 mins (70-290) and 8 hours a day hands-on

 

I used to study for a couple of hours per day weekdays and 4 hours Saturday/Sunday. That's all gone now with my little one around and work being work.....

 

No wonder I feel so tired.

 

I didn't get that at first
