# How much time should I devote to HPAT preparation?

The amount of time you devote to HPAT preparation depends on you - in particular your current abilities, level of motivation and other commitments. Generally, MedEntry advises students to spend about 10% of study time preparing for HPAT in the few months leading up to the exam. For example, if you spend a total of thirty hours per week studying, about three hours per week should be set aside for HPAT preparation.
