I work full time (44 hours a week) and just registered for the 1Z0-819. I'm trying to set a realistic study timeline before committing to a test date.
From what I've read online, estimates range from 4 weeks to 10 weeks depending on background. My background is related but I've never taken a formal study guide course, so I'm probably starting from an intermediate level.
I've been using the 1z0-819 modular development & deployment practices to gauge where I stand, and my initial diagnostic scores are around 56% — which tells me I have work to do.
For those who've been through it: did you study daily or more intensively in bursts? And did you feel like your practice scores accurately predicted your real exam performance? Any input would help me set a realistic target date.
The part about reviewing wrong answers thoroughly is so underrated. Most people (including me, first time around) just move on after getting something wrong. Going back to understand the concept is what actually builds retention for the 1Z0-819.
Really helpful breakdown, thanks for sharing. I'm at week 2 of my 1Z0-819 prep and the exam prep section is exactly where I'm struggling too. Going to try the approach you described and see if it moves my scores.
For the people asking about study timelines: I studied 88 minutes per day for 14 weeks working full time. It's absolutely doable without burning out. The key is consistency — missing days hurts more than extending your timeline.
