I have to echo what is being said here, it's not about hours spent or questions answered. Time is just an investment you have to make in order to learn, not a formula to passing. Drill MCQs, one topic at a time, learn from your wrong answers, and repeat until you master the material.
You've created poll threads about studying for the CPA vs cleaning the garage, studying during football season, etc. and say you have personal commitments preventing you from studying more. The CPA requires discipline and sacrifice, and that means you have to set priorities. Stay up later and/or wake up earlier. Studying has to take priority over hanging out with friends or watching football; if you have children, you need to get your spouse or parents or relatives to help you manage those duties; if you have too many chores around the house, you need to hire a cleaner or a gardener or whatever to come and lighten the load; if you are dating, your partner is going to need to understand that they need to make sacrifices for your career aspirations; and if you have any other time-consuming commitments like school or hobby groups or volunteering, those need to go on the backburner. If you're not prepared or are unable to make big sacrifices, you need to put the CPA on hold until you can.
