I need to take and pass the 757 Captain Examination in order to be eligible for promotion to Captain. My question, because of demanding RW constraints, is how much study is recommended to take this exam? I'm not trying to just "get by," I'm just trying to manage my time wisely.

Studying can likely be kept to a minimum as tests are open book. If there is information you are not aware of, you can look it up, and a very good place to start for the 757 would be our own in house manual, found here: http://www.deltava.org/library/B757%20Manual.pdf
