Due to this being scattered in time, I kind of have a hard time defining the time I spent on the material alone. - I used about 45 hours in the labs, although I nearly did every lab twice with quite a large timespan in between - I did attend SEC560 and got the GPEN certification in the meanwhile as well, which helped me in both ways. eCPPT material helped with the GPEN and vice-versa, so that probably saved me some time grasping things. - I only recently went through the exam, so it's not certain I passed (I obviously am sure I did, *not*) - I had the Elite plan and found the Ruby section interesting, but it is not required for the exam. - Nor is the wireless section required for the exam, but I already had that covered with OSWP, so I quicly read through, also a time-saver. - I guess I probably spent at least a 120 hours or so, as said, scattered in time so I had to re-read stuff from time to time. I have to be honest that during the exam, I did NOT feel ready for it and thought on multiple occasions I'd be stuck forever. As said before, I still don't know whether that feeling was rightfully so or not. That being said, I still learned a lot of new things during the exam. So either way, it was certainly not a waste of time. (Oh, and realizing this made me able to cope better with the frustration I faced during the exam).
