Note: 30-Day Extension for PPD/PDD Candidates

  • The goal of the 30-Day Study Challenge is to study consistently and stay motivated with community support.

  • Due to the amount of content to study for PPD and PDD, the recommended total study duration is 60 days.

  • We encourage PPD and PDD candidates to study for 30 days alongside other participants, then continue on their 60-Day Study Plan to ensure adequate preparation.
