How long did it take you to practice for the prop math trading tests? (or how long have you been practicing without success?)

I'm no math genius and I'm starting to practice so that I can pass the prop tests, how long did it take you to pass?

If you did pass are you now a trader or did it fail to get you where you wanted to be?

If you are practising and still failing how long have you been trying for?

I'm trying to figure out a realistic timeframe that it might take me to be able to pass the tests, I know it will vary from person to person but if you can help me figure out the average i'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks
Heron
