Hello,

mle steps require time and energy and your full focus. Time taken for any exam is relative .

Preparing for any exam depends on your pace and time. It also depends on how far are you able to understand the exam pattern.

Normally a period of 6-8 months is necessary for step 1 but I have seen my colleagues take them in 4-5 months

Step 2 requires atleast 4 months of prep but it's relatively easier than step 1

Step 3 is the shortest preparing exam with just about 20 to 30 days

So usually a total of 1 year to 1 and half for all the steps. so after that you can start earning .

 hope this helps you !

all the best !
