Hello, I hope you had a good time taking your test. I have mine coming up soon and I'm feeling a bit short on time for preparation. I was wondering if you could share some information with me. How long did you spend preparing for the test? Did you memorize all the necessary information, such as names, dates, and laws? How would you rate the difficulty of the test? I would be grateful if you could also share any additional tips or notes you have. Thank you so much for your help.

There was a 3 week window given for the Test. I took 10 days to prepare. First I read the book once and then gave the mock tests. The wrong answers in the test gave me an idea the things I am weak in. I again re-read the book and gave the test again. Whatever I gave wrong answer for I made a note of it. I gave the test in the evening on the weekend. Morning I read the book and again gave the mock test. I was able to get close to 98-99% correct answer till then. Test after this much preparation was not tough for me. You start recollecting dates, names and laws with ease. But the wordings and framing of the test were a bit different from the mock test. But if you study well, it's not tough to understand it. The test took 8 mins to complete.
