Taking Level 2. I would say 300-400 hours altogether. Finished Schweser by mid-Jan and then reread/did the Qbank. Have done 4.5 Schweser practice tests (~75% mean), and the two CFAI practice tests (~68% mean). Honestly - not sure. Felt really good after Schweser tests, but CFAI tests killed my confidence. Good luck!

 

Level 1. I probably studied somewhere between 200-300 hours. I've averaged around 71% on 5 Schweser tests. Then got 80% and 73% on the two CFAI tests. I expect to pass.
