About preparation, nothing is impossible, if you want to make self preparation. It all depends solely on your confidence level. But, I would like to differ with Mr. Parul's opinion. People who prefer cramming with no clear mental concept only try to devote 14 hours per day on study. But still several of them fail to compete the exam. So, if you can concentrate properly with your ability to properly grasp the subject matter, you can clear the exam with 6-8 hours of study per day. But, if you are unable to concentrate fully, even 14 hours' study may be quite insufficient for you.
So, self confidence and concentration on your study would be the key for your success.
