When all said and done it will of taken about 6 months to get my PPL. I am one of the fastest moving students from 0 to PPL my CFI has had. I have easily lost 4-6 weeks from not being prepared when I should of been for my written, and also the long waits for progress checks by chief flight instructor (required per syllabus). Without the long waits for prog. checks and if I would of been prepared for the written at the right time, I could of probably gotten my PPL in 4.5-5 months.

You really should try to fly at least 3 days per week. Know what you are supposed to be going over prior to every lesson and do homework before hand.

Keep in mind I did all this while working full time and dealing with the normal craziness of life. Most of my flights are at 5:00 p.m. So on those days I leave work by 4:00 p.m. to get to the airport on time. Check with your flight school to see if you can work out a good schedule where you can fly more than just 2 days per week.
