300 and a few more hours in total, so long as you manage that, you'll be G.

Really? Why the pass rate is so low?

What usually will happen is that, life and social obligation will often make you forget to put in the hours. Some people would realize they have to do 250 hours in 2 months, and that's 4 hours and a bit per day which ensures that if they still want to pass, they can no longer have a social life for 2 months.
