I work full time (44 hours a week) and just registered for the ISCET. I'm trying to set a realistic study timeline before committing to a test date.
From what I've read online, estimates range from 6 weeks to 11 weeks depending on background. My background is related but I've never taken a formal iscet course, so I'm probably starting from an intermediate level.
I've been using the iscet electronic components & circuit analysis to gauge where I stand, and my initial diagnostic scores are around 57% — 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.
For what it's worth — I've taken the ISCET twice now. First attempt I underestimated the iscet questions. Second time I focused almost exclusively on applied practice and passed comfortably. The difference is real.
This is exactly the thread I needed. I sit for my ISCET in 4 weeks and have been second-guessing my prep. The iscet area you mentioned is definitely my weak spot. Thanks for the honest breakdown.
For the people asking about study timelines: I studied 53 minutes per day for 13 weeks working full time. It's absolutely doable without burning out. The key is consistency — missing days hurts more than extending your timeline.
