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. :)

I'm lucky if I can get two weeks in. :P I generally get a little over one week to revise for a SAC.

About 2-3 days.

I think it really depends on the individual. For me, Chem is one of my harder subjects and hence I need more time for preparation, whilst Spesh on the other hand requires less effort. So it's really based on your own strengths and weaknesses :)

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.)
