The reason you've had no answers is because there isn't one. It's up to you as to how you study and how many hours you put in/where you spend those hours.
If I've misunderstood and you're looking to do some pre-study before embarking on the course, then I'd seriously suggest doing no more than ensuring your maths /basic physics is up to scratch. The course is highly complex and you run the risk of confusing yourself more than the benefit you'd gain by trying to pre-study it. You only have to do a brief search through these forums to find out just how hard people find it to home study it.
