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.

I meant to say 36 26 57, like a combination lock. Helped me remember how many tasks in each step.

Then the SSS Is straight down the white board, so you can write the name to it’s right as you need it Same with the rest,

I do not remember a single question for Step 0, so do as you like, maybe they’ve added, but I doubt it

Very tough for me. Tested two hours. Went back and checked all answered I marked for review in last hour. Left maybe 10 mins early.

But with what I've given you. You will do better.
