How long does it realistically take to study for the SL?

Bookmarking this. I'm still in the early stages of SL prep and threads like this are way more useful than generic study guides. The specifics about study guide are particularly helpful — that's the section I've been avoiding.

The part about reviewing wrong answers thoroughly is so underrated. Most people just move on after getting something wrong. Going back to understand the concept is what actually builds retention for the SL. I also used sl test for the areas that kept coming up wrong — really helped cement the concepts.

Late to this thread but wanted to add — the study guide section trips up more people than any other part. If you're scoring below 74% there in practice, treat it as your only focus for at least a week before moving on. Breadth at the expense of depth in that area is a common mistake.
