Post by: fleet street on August 24, 2013, 09:45:15 pm: Depends on the SAC and how busy I am. Maybe about 3-4 weeks, but I'm only doing one 3/4, so that's just me. :)

About 2-3 days.

(back in 2011 of course)

This sounds familiar.

Post by: shadows on August 25, 2013, 01:02:01 pm: It's basically just the time needed to ensure that you feel confident and prepared to tackle the SAC to the best of your ability. I could probably be 100% prepared 1 day before the SAC, however usually I prepare a few days in advance.

If you have been studying consistently, SAC preparation should not take a lot of time. Ideally, it is a time to review your weaknesses, review and tackle difficult questions you came across, and compile your reference book. (LOL, for me this doesn't really help, so don't put too much effort into this.)
