I have studied for several months and I do mean "study" here. That means I have not only learned to pass the exam but studied all the knowledge stuff to become a better and more professional PM.
If you only want to pass the exam (sometimes there is a demand, therefore) than you can do it in 30 days or I even heard from some people that they have managed it in 10 days (fulltime I guess).
However, it does not really matter how long it takes and that is also dependent on several factors like pre-education; pre-experience; available prep materials and so on.
Well, a lot of experts say that you do need between 80 and 150 hours of learning and practicing to achieve the level for passing the exam.
That leads to a study plan of about 12 to 14 weeks in most cases. Saving Changes...

It could surely have taken less time if I didn't have to prepare in the midst of many other activities. Saving Changes...
