Yes, that's enough. I generally recommend 8-10 weeks to my students, and that's the timetable that most prep classes operate on, as well.

I wrote a longer explanation of this here:

Please keep in mind that it's quality, not quantity. I'd say that 2-3 months is sufficient, but be sure to have a solid study strategy in place.

Good luck!

Agreed. If you can get yourself into a groove, or are trying to work through a particular weakness, don't worry about how much time you're spending. Aim for the 10 hours a week, but sometimes you'll need more, or less, depending on how things are going.

Yep, most people study for about 3 months. Our courses run for 9 weeks and then I recommend that my students take another 2-4 weeks for review before taking the test, depending upon how much further they need to go.
