I work full time (47 hours a week) and just registered for the NFT. I'm trying to set a realistic study timeline before committing to a test date.
From what I've read, estimates range from 5 weeks to 10 weeks depending on background. My background is related but I've never taken a formal exam prep course, so I'm probably starting at an intermediate level.
I've been using the nft knowledge to gauge where I stand, and my initial diagnostic scores are around 58%. Also reading through nft development to fill in the theory gaps.
For those who've been through it: did you study daily or more intensively in bursts? Did your practice scores accurately predict your real exam performance?
Good thread. One thing I'd add: don't try to cram the night before. I did 4 hours the night before my NFT and I think it hurt more than helped. Your brain needs consolidation time. Light review or full rest is better.
This is exactly the thread I needed. I sit for my NFT in 2 weeks and have been second-guessing my prep. The practice test area you mentioned is definitely my weak spot. Thanks for the honest breakdown.
Quick update: just cleared 84% on my most recent NFT practice set using nft development skills. Sitting for the real thing in 2 weeks. Feeling cautiously optimistic.
