Looking for real answers here, not the "study for 3 months" advice that everyone gives.
I have 3 weeks before my scheduled (LEIN) Law Enforcement Information Network Certification exam date and I'm wondering if that's enough. I work full time so I can only do about 1-2 hours per night.
I've been focusing on "LEIN" and "LEIN - Law Enforcement Information Network Certification" practice material. Made flashcards for the stuff I keep getting wrong and doing a full practice test every weekend.
My concern is whether I'm spreading too thin. Should I drop some topics and focus on the ones with the highest weight? What are the sections that actually show up the most?
What was your actual study timeline? Not what you'd recommend — what you actually did.
The honest answer is: it depends a lot on your background.
If you're already working in this field, the LEIN exam is testing knowledge you probably use daily. The "LEIN" sections will feel familiar.
If you're coming in from outside, give yourself an extra 2 weeks and really focus on the practical application questions.
The practice tests here are worth doing repeatedly — I did the same test bank multiple times and found new questions I'd missed each time.
