Common Student Questions

- You should take as long as it takes to get through it, but focus on doing work every day. Some people take about 3 months, others 6 months, and some only a week. I can do it in about 4 hours or less if I hurry and don't do the Study Drills.
- What kind of computer do I need?
- You can do it on most any computer. It works on Windows, Mac OSX, and Linux with instructions for all three in the first exercise.
