depends on your background.
I did not measure the number of hours spent but I am sure I spent less than 150 hours (and passed)

I can assure you if my lady friend studied for 600 hours she would have a tough time passing. That should answer your question.

Palantir brings up a valid point. The question of how many hours is needed comes up ALL THE TIME and I guess once you start seeing the same question over and over, it gets a little annoying, especially when it's one that is unique to each individual. That much should be obvious.

Maybe there should be a FAQ list for questions like this.

^^ There should be.

Personally, I only studied for about 150 hours and passed very easily. That being said, I was an accounting and finance major and had already seen most of the material.

300 hours is not enough. I suggest 301-303. I knew a couple guys who studied 296-298 and barely failed.
I would recommend 302.97 hours. That should guarantee a pass.

Seriously, I love these arbitrary numbers people throw out. People can pass with 200 hours and fail with 500 hours. It doesn't freggin matter.

If only matters what works for YOU.

I'm 85.7% sure you can pass with 358.75 hours of studying.
