>>118178592 months is plenty of time, i think 6 months was overkill and since i plateaued around the 2 month mark maybe, and studying for 6 months sort of made me more anxious about it in a way since i had invested so much time into it
i don't know if it's a knowledge based test or an aptitude type test that you're taking.. but in general i have the view that if you want it bad enough you will push yourself to the limit and need little external motivation
but there are things you can do to make things easier for yourself to get "motivated", or augment your motivation. for me, that was setting small goals so that i had a sense of achievement every now and then, i made a study plan before any of this and stuck to it. stuff like exercise+caffeine in small doses also helped me feel good and motivated throughout, also taking short breaks every once in a while to refresh. try getting into a routine, make it a habit. near the end of it i was having fun going through my study routine in a weird way
