Anyone convert directly fom ICAO ATPL to JAA ATP w/ distance learning?

Under JAA regs, ICAO ATPL holders are exempted from groundschool requirements for the JAA. In simple terms, this means your only have to write the 14 exams and get your CAT 1 medical.....
My question comes as I haven't received my books through the mail yet (any day though) and am wondering if anyone has has taken this path can give me a ballpark on how long it took them to study before going over to write the tests....
I still have a job to go to, and it will be too busy to try and do this at the beginning of summer so I have to already look at booking some time off to get this done in the next 2-3 months....
I am fresh off writing my Canadian ATPL's so I wouldnt say my existing knowledge base is that rusty...
Many thanks,
AP
