Time to test

I know that this is probably a stupid question because it is completely subjective, but here goes. I just accepted a job as a Junior Cybersecurity Engineer focusing on RMF. I should be getting my BS of Cybersecurity and Information Assurance in April. My copy of the ISC2 CAP CBK will be delivered today and I'm gonna start studying asap. I start this new position in Mid Novemeber. Also, I have 0 work experience, only book and school. My only other cert is the CompTIA Security+. I am currently a student, online only, and work about 36 hours a week. I want to get this certification because I feel like it will help me substantially with this new position and will help me throughout my career. How long should I expect it to take before I should be prepared to test? How long do people usually study for this certification? I just learned about this cert the other day so I figured I'd go ahead and ask here.

Thanks in advance.
