I totally second this, apnatoronto was very helpful. Due to some issue, I couldn't start prep for the test till the last 5 days of the test window. Read Discover Canada, but wasn't confident even today, 1 day before the test window. Practiced apnatoronto for 2 hours today, all 10 tests which is 250 questions. Just now gave the test and passed.

According to your signature, this is pretty fast. So happy for you!
Thanks - I don't want to jinx it though
My PR approval came in 5 months, then I got mired in this whole thing because firstly my kids' passports had a production mistake and then my passport fell apart 
Current Citizenship application processing time is down by 1 month to 22 months... It's skewed because they are taking an average of last 6 months and newer applications may be processed faster that 22 months

This is average processing time. Which means application can finish in as early as 6 months or as late as 22 months for most routine applications.
Just passed my test with 20/20 and I didn't even study Discover Canada. lol. The only thing I did was practice the questions on Apna Toronto multiple times.
My question is I haven't been able to access the tracker ever since I got the invitation for test. Do you think I'll be able to access it soon now since I have completed my test? Or do I need to call IRCC?

Once your Test is marked completed it may start working again. Happens with Oath scheduled people. Give it a week or so. If it does not work instead of call raising a webform with all screenshot attached is a better option. If they give you a generic response raise a webform again.
