Well, if you have previous knowledge of the subject it would not take more than refreshing concepts, I agree with that and I have done so. But as Mandy was referring to subjects one had not previous knowledge about.
For me, the least it has taken it's been 2 weeks (with Drug and Alcohol Abuse for example). I am planning on studying for a month for each EC, I have 2 pending. That's how much time I feel it will take me to go through all the info (hopefully!).
But one thing is that we all come from different backgrounds, we all have our own way to process information, and some people can be really good at certain subject areas, while not that great in others.
I think I have come to "know myself" about when I can take less time for a subject and when I will need to study until I feel comfortable about it. I have taken chances and got an A, when I did not really feel that great. So, I have to say that luck is not totally out of the equation when it comes to testing multiple choice exams...! But like someone said in this forum: never underestimate any exam!
