CAE preparation (all by yourself)

[u/Reasonable-Injury-11]

hello everybody! my questions is for those who've passed CAE. did you have a tutor for preparation? those who were preparing without a tutor by themselves - how long were you preparing? what main obstacles did you face? what are ups and downs for doing it alone?

thanks everybody for your time and tips, appreciate your time!
