ARGUS Exam

I went ahead and grabbed the enterprise certification bundle a few months ago and is expiring on the 29th. I studied pretty hard for about two weeks when I first purchased the bundle and completed a majority of the case studies and passed the practice exam (even though the practice exam is only for the first part, what's up with that...). Anyhow, I put it aside as I was getting pretty busy with networking and interviewing for roles which I would not need to know ARGUS (MF asset class specific positions). I have now been waiting on an offer letter for a few weeks for a solid position I really wanted, but would like to finish the certification so it's not a complete waste of money and just in case the offer falls through for whatever reason. The position is in agency lending, FWIW.

My question for those that have taken the test, did I screw myself over here? My plan is to start studying again tomorrow for 6-8 hours/day for 2-3 days before taking the exam. Is that enough time to study assuming I can pick up a majority where I left off at? I think I was pretty close to being ready for the exam when I put the material aside. Any tips and input is appreciated.
