The NASM materials are well laid out in terms of prepping. The way I did it was to lay out a 90-day reading schedule, read every day, watched the follow-up video after finishing the chapter, then do the workbook questions. I read back through material I wasn't quite sure of a couple of times, then went and took the exam.

So it's a 4 month process maximum, basically? I know this is a rather specific question, but how long per day and days per week did you study?
Obviously it will be different for me, especially considering that you had a background already. I don't really have one, other than the forums I go on and my own research I do. I'm sure it's helping me, but I have no clue how beneficial anything I know would be in therms of that type of test. My guess is not much. Anyway, I'm just looking for an idea only because I'm in school now and would really have to ration my time.
