30-60 minute per day will make you good. If you do less you probably won't get good andd certainly won't get a good grade..
Don't forget to think about your right hand while you are playing them. And think about the key.

If it's not clean or your tone is note good, put the metronome on a slower tempo.
Don't day dream, think about your hands, the key.
