How much preparation is needed for 401 CErtification

Hello,
I'm a software professional who is new to Salesforce and want to take the 201/401 Certification. I do have 17 years of software experience in Java/JSP/OOP/SQL etc.. Would love to hear from the folks who have taken the test, as to roughly how long it took to prepare for the test for someone with my background? I plan to use trailhead to learn salesforce. I need a ball-park estimate , is it 1 month/4 months/6 months.

Thanks

Sampada, 

If you complete the Force.com Workbook (https://developer.salesforce.com/page/Forcedotcomworkbook) you are 90% of the way there. If you're already somewhat familiar with Salesforce.com you can probably get through it in a month (assuming you're doing it on weekends and evenings). Good luck.
