An average student may require about 200 hours of study to prepare for the Customs Broker Exam. Most test takers are employed and may only be able to study part time. I would recommend setting up a schedule of studying about 8 hours each week for about 6 months to prepare for this exam. I would also recommend devoting about 60 hours to practice taking old tests. Ideally you should take at least one test each weekend for the last 3 months by which you can complete at least 12 practice tests. The more tests you are able to take, the more proficient you are likely to become, over time.
