I work full time (50 hours a week) and just registered for the NM Notary. I'm trying to set a realistic study timeline before committing to a test date.
From what I've read online, estimates range from 5 weeks to 11 weeks depending on background. My background is related but I've never taken a formal notary santa fe nm course, so I'm probably starting from an intermediate level.
I've been using the nm notary legal requirements and regulations to gauge where I stand, and my initial diagnostic scores are around 59% — which tells me I have work to do.
For those who've been through it: did you study daily or more intensively in bursts? And did you feel like your practice scores accurately predicted your real exam performance? Any input would help me set a realistic target date.
Good thread. One thing I'd add: don't try to cram the night before. I did 4 hours the night before my NM Notary and I think it hurt more than helped. Your brain needs consolidation time. Light review or full rest is better.
Good thread. One thing I'd add: don't try to cram the night before. I did 2 hours the night before my NM Notary 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 NM Notary in 4 weeks and have been second-guessing my prep. The notary albuquerque new mexico area you mentioned is definitely my weak spot. Thanks for the honest breakdown.
Same experience here. The nm notary legal requirements and regulations was what finally made it click for me — specifically the way it explains the reasoning rather than just giving answers. Took me 3 weeks of consistent practice but scores went from 65% to 81% by exam day.
