How many weeks did you actually study for NFT? Be honest

Failed my first attempt, came back to this thread for motivation. The advice about really understanding why wrong answers are wrong — not just memorizing the right ones — is the single best piece of advice I've seen for the NFT. Rebuilding my prep around that principle now. Using nft art for the concept review.

Coming back to this thread because I just passed my NFT yesterday. Everything people said about the nft art section is spot on — that was the hardest part for me too. For anyone still studying, don't skip the applied questions in the nft art. They're the closest to what you'll actually see.

Passed NFT - Art about a year and a half back, and honestly 5 weeks at 1-2 hours a night is plenty if you spend it right. The mistake I made early on was going wide — memorizing every marketplace and chain when the exam barely cares about that. Where it actually got me was the provenance and minting mechanics stuff. Understand what on-chain vs off-chain metadata means, why a token can point to dead IPFS, and how royalties actually get enforced (or don't). That's the stuff they twist into trick questions.

The hicetnunc/Tezos angle you're studying is good to know but don't over-index on it. It came up maybe once or twice for me, mostly as a "low gas alternative" comparison. The bulk leaned on general concepts — editions vs 1/1s, how secondary sales work, smart contract basics. "nft art" as a topic is so broad that rote keyword study kind of falls apart. You're better off being able to reason through a scenario than recognize a term.

If I could redo my prep I'd have started doing timed questions in week one instead of week three. Reading felt productive but the format is what trips people, especially the multi-part scenario ones. Grinding a nft practice test a few times a week did more for my score than any amount of notes. You've got the time — just don't save the practice for the end.
