It might have worked for you, but not for most.  To the OP, do at least 400 hours for every level.  Don’t spend 10 years on this program when you can do it in 18 months.

^ Word.  When the exam is only given once a year, overstudying is not a bad thing.  
When you’re getting a promotion at work (longer hours, more headaches) and your wife is pregnant with your second, that increases to motivation to study as long and hard as you can (because you know this is your last chance–possibly forever).
