re: CFP September Exam

I began the Dalton process in Nov ‘19 and the courses I tried to get through as quick as possible. I retained about 40% of my info when I got into the review. I was set to take the exam in July but they postponed it to September due to covid so that gave me another 2 months of study in the review, which I needed.
You’ll need a solid 8 weeks in the review process with studying around 3-4 hours a day to get to where you need to be. If you want to take weekends off then increase study time 1-2 more hours a day.
I never attended any live classes and just watched pre recorded classes (or reading) for 1-2 hours in the morning and then did 1-2 hours of questions/practice exams in the evening.
Late in the review I shifted my practice exams to the morning but fridays were my heavy days. I was trying to train my brain to be prepared for that Friday morning I took the exam. The hardest part of this is interpreting what the hell the question is actually asking you and then forcing yourself to take your time on it. It’s mentally exhausting and you have to be prepared for that.

The way I’m set up is classes starting mid January of 2021 and ending mid August of 2021. That gives me a solid 10 weeks after the end of classes for the review part.
My classes are either M/W or T/TH for 2 hours each night. I’m thinking of going with 2 hours each morning and 2 each night M/T/W/TH, Friday off, Saturday 2 hours of touch up, Sunday 4 hours of review.
I’m thinking being intensive on the front side will make that review time from the end of August until the first week of November a little less stressful, while being 4 hours a day intense, taking 1 day off a week.
Honestly thinking about a 5:00 am - 8:00 am morning review with a 1 hour nightcap before bed going into the exam.
What are your thoughts on that plan? Is that suicide and burnout on the front end?
