I work full time (44 hours a week) and just registered for the CIC. 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 13 weeks depending on background. My background is related but I've never taken a formal exam prep course, so I'm probably starting from an intermediate level.
I've been using the cic parent & community relations to gauge where I stand, and my initial diagnostic scores are around 65% — 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.
Bookmarking this. I'm still in the early stages of CIC prep and threads like this are way more useful than generic study guides. The specifics about practice test are particularly helpful — that's the section I've been avoiding.
