Is it be possible to do all the TBR and TPRSW passages in 1 - 1.5 months?

Title Edit - Would it be possible to do all the TPRSW and TBR passages in 1 - 1.5 months?

My test is in May, and I decided to do content review before dedicating time to passages. I was planning on beginning solely passages in February, and I have all the study materials. My only question is if this too much. I'm not taking classes so I have free time. Just to clarify, I would be doing exclusively passages/review (no reading, unless I felt weak in a topic).

That's about 800 passages. if you were to spend 8 minutes on each, and if you were to do passages everyday, you'd have to commit 2.5ish hours everyday for 1.5 months, not including review. I mean it's possible, but that's a lot. If you dont burn out and stay focused, its possible. Its worth a try! the first thing that comes to mind is eating pancakes everday analogy.

As the OP mentioned, there are about 800 passages between TPRH SW and TBR. Each passages takes an average 8 mins to do (some take literally 5 mins while others can take up to 12 mins). You also need to dedicate at least 5 mins per passage to go over your answers. So let's say you need 13mins/passage between practice and going over the solution. That's 10400 minutes total (173 hours). If you are in any way inefficient like me, you need to multiply that number by 1.5. That totals to approximately 260 hours of practicing, going over solutions, and surfing SDN and Facebook in between. If you study 5 days a week over the next 8 weeks, that's 40 days total. 260hrs/40days = 6.5 hrs/day of studying. Not bad in my opinion, unless you have other commitments. Besides, you have given yourself 2 days a week off.

Probably not the best idea but it is possible.

Why so concerned with finishing all of them though? Not like you will get a score bonus if you do all 800 rather than just 700. Just do as many as you can in the time you have and postpone if you don't feel ready. Don't postpone because you didn't do all 800.

Will you be doing FLs? Those are more important post-content review than passages.

Yup, I was planning on doing FLs at the end. Basically, my plan is

Now until Feb: Content Review
Feb - Mid-April: Passages mainly, filling in gaps
Mid-April to May 23: FLs

Thanks for the suggestions guys

So during that month you are doing FLs, you can do some more practice passages on off days. You should probably only take a FL once every 3-4 days so:

Day 1: FL
Day 2: Review FL
Day 3: Practice passages (either related to your weak areas from the past FL or just random)
Day 4: Break

and repeat
