You'll be fine. Honestly, 95% of the studying is accomplished via group-discussion and gouge passing. So, not exactly something you can front-load now anyway.
Some guys forge their own path, but your world will be logarithmicly easier if you make friends, study as a group, and ask guys what they saw on their checkrides.
