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

Looking for real answers here, not the "study for 3 months" advice that everyone gives.

I have 3 weeks before my scheduled RMR - Registered Merit Reporter 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 "RMR" and "RMR - Registered Merit Reporter" 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.

Worth mentioning: the free rmr court reporting techniques methods covers exactly the areas people tend to struggle with most.

Quick data point: I spent 5 weeks studying, 2-3 hours a day, and passed with a 85%.

The section on RMR exam took me the longest to feel confident about. Eventually I just drilled practice questions until I could answer them without hesitation.

What testing center did you end up booking? Some of them have much shorter wait times than others right now.

Failed first attempt, came back to this thread. The consensus on rmr practice test being the make-or-break area is right. Focusing almost exclusively on applied questions this time around.

Quick update: just cleared 92% on my most recent RMR practice set using free rmr legal terminology procedures. Sitting for the real thing in 3 weeks. Feeling cautiously optimistic.
