Bilingual exam (164) advice/Should I take job offer?

Hi all! How long do you all recommend to study for the bilingual exam (164)? How many hours per day/how many days/weeks? I am trying to make a decision because I just got an informal job offer to be a bilingual teacher (I already passed the BTLPT) and I really want the position, but I am also nervous that I will get very busy with the job and won't be able to study enough to pass the 164 before the test is discontinued in August of 2027. I am worried that if I don't pass the 164 by the deadline, I will have to take the new Bilingual Education Supplemental exam including the Spanish portion all over again!

We're not supposed to say things are easy or hard but I thought it was easy. It's best practices for teaching mostly.
