[SalesForce] Advanced Admin 211 Certification

I am new to this site and I am not sure if this is a right forum to post my question.
My apologies if not. Please redirect me to the correct site. Thanks.

I completed my SF Developer cert, SF ADMIN cert, now I am planning to take my Advanced Admin certification.

I have gone through lot of quizlets and other study guides available for Advanced Admin.

I have spent almost a month in preparing for this Cert and I am able to spend at least 2-3 hours per day for preparation.

I just have few questions:
1. What is the average preparation time required for Advanced admin
2. Any important links or guides that I need to go through which is a "MUST" as part of preparation for Advanced ADMIN
3.Has anyone took the advanced admin winter 14 exam and anything has changed ? or anything new in the format where we need to focus additionally.

Appreciate your valuable feedback.

Note: These are just some things to focus on, there will be questions outside of these particular topics. Focus on the Exam outline in the Study guide.
