Hi @AmitPM
No one can answer this better than you—it’s a journey, and everyone has their own pace and way of learning.
As a ServiceNow trainer, I can say that 3 to 5 months of consistent effort is usually enough to prepare for the CSA exam, especially if you have some hands-on experience.
You can either follow the ServiceNow CSA learning path on Now Learning / Now University, or check out my Batch 17 playlist available on my channel.
If my response proves useful, please indicate its helpfulness by selecting " Accept as Solution" and " Helpful." This action benefits both the community and me.

Hi @AmitPM ,
Everyoen have a different speed of learning and grasping things so no one can tell you how much time it will take to prepare for CSA. It also depends how much knowledge you alreayd have on ServieNow and what is job role and how much time you can spare for your self study.
Resource - a) developer.servicenow.com -> Learn
b) Servicenow University - CSA Journey [Welcome to servicenow training, Welcome to ServiceNow Micro certification, Admin Fundamental training etc]
c) You tube Videos like- Learn&Grow CSA sessions
d) Quizlets [Google it]
If my answer helped you in anyways, please mark it- solution accepted.

Hello @AmitPM
For CSA cert prep you need good knowledge on basics and fundamentals. If you have gone through CSA course on ServiceNow University that will be really good enough for you to prepare exam. And speaking about resources on-demand course is really well enough for anyone to prepare to write exam.
Speaking about timeline, I had seen few folks had taken 2 months and cleared exam but it always how confident you are and how good are you comfortable with concepts you have learned from course. Don't rush take your time go with your flow and once you feel just attempt it.
All the Best & Happy Learning!!
If my response has helped you hit helpful button and if your concern is solved do mark my response as correct.
Thanks & Regards

Hi @AmitPM ,
Nobody can tell you this, as we all learn in different speed and absorbe knowledge differently. According to good resources, I would suggest that you only rely on the officiel material due to this should be more than enough.
If my answer has helped with your question, please mark my answer as the accepted solution and give a thumbs up.
