Don't take the exam until you are scoring in the 80%+ on several practice exam.
If I did not have kids, family, friends, job. I could say 1-3 months.
It takes me about a year to be ready to take an exam(3 kids, nephews,.... life, job).
Remember on your death bed no one ever says, I wish I worked more. like everyone else you will say "I wish I had spent more time with my family".
