Would like to reach C8 certification within a year and a half.

Hi all, recently, I have been researching what profession I would like to do once I am older (I am a senior in high school,) and have found that everything about being a building inspector quite intrigues me. I was just wondering on if getting to ICC C8 (B1, B2, M1, M2, E1, E2, P1, P2) is feasible. I am roughly one year away from being able to take any exam (I am 17,) and would be able to spend a sizable amount of time each day studying the codes.

My general plan is to use the companion books + the codes to study for the first 15 months, creating flashcards on Anki (Digital flashcard maker with built in SRS) for each piece of code I believe I should remember, along with using it to memorize where I can access information given a question on the test (etc if it asks something about chairs, I could pinpoint where in a book the code discusses chairs.) I would disperse online tests as well, making sure I get 90%+ before moving on to studying the next certification.

The last three months would be me tabbing my now acquired books and cramming everything I have learned. I hope to do this so I can climb the career ladder faster, whatever that means, and be able to have a decently high paying job almost straight out of high school with no debt.

So, I would like to ask, does this plan seem possible in the time I have allotted for it, and is there anything I should know before embarking on this journey? I am in California if that matters.

Thank you and toodaloo!
