Shooting for 250 or so. Got 62.5 hours so far. I'm attempting to do the two exam thing, so I had to get an early jump.

Didn't really count number of hours.
My speed and effort spent as follow:-

Current:
1. Finished ASM Credibility (18 out of 60 modules| Completed all exercises).
2. Flipped through all other ASM modules (Estimation of Actuarial Models, Simulation, Econometics).

Goal within 3 weeks:
1. Get all exercises (21 modules) in Econometrics completed.

It's not the amount of hours you put into studying that matters; it's the amount of studying you put in your hours.
