how much time did you study for part 1?

It seems like a lot of people are studying about 12-14 hrs/day for several months to pull out great scores. How does everyone find time if most dental schools give only a few weeks off to study for part 1? I'm a bit concerned because one of the faculty members told me we wouldn't get any time off but just a lighter course load for ~1 month. Can any of you that are going through/went through all this shed some light and give any advice on study tips given these circumstances?

At WVU you only get two weeks for Part 1.

Hi, you shouldn't worry. Most people that are studying for a couple of months are foreign trained dentists who graduated a while back and so they are out of school. Because you are a student, you are in a great situation because everything is still fresh in your memory. So, good luck with your preparation!
