Just my experience so far:
I started 8 months before the exam with a 3 month intermediate financial accounting course through UCI's online extension program. I didn't have much accounting work in college (I was a Management Science major) and corporate accounting can be like an Arnold-Schwarzenegger-step-child of a mind-f***.

That took me to 6 months before the exam (this upcoming June test). Then I started with Stalla's live classes. Afterwards I spent this entire last month re-skimming all the study sessions in the Stalla study guide. You won't really feel the stress until a month or two out; at least that was my case.

This week has been somewhat calming as it has now become too late (at least for me) to really internalize any new, major principles. It's minor tweaking and refreshes of "trivial pursuit" information from here to judgement day.
