I recently took the PE Exam. I studied for 5 months. I didn't pass but I did get a decent amount of experience. I honestly studied an hour a day and 5 hours on the weekends each day. I did get about a 60% at least according to the diagnostic. I will try harder next time. But I'm just at a loss because I was confident when I left the exam with an hour and a half to spare. I will try again.
