gm, im, fm, cm, nm

I go to chess class and I am five in high school to get the title FM How many years should I try? I think about three to five years. What do you think?

Do you mean you made it to CM when you were 23 or it took you 23 years to make it starting at a certain age?

From 16 to 39 y.o.
im only playing since 1 year even I want to become master in 3-4 years and something tells me that I will surely become one
Its not about number of years, its about how intensely you work and what the priorities are. If you are 13-15 now then given the lichess rating no reason you cannot make FM if you want it enough.
Of course, I try harder to become a world champion, but I have to go step by step and I have to start with FM first :)@piscatorox said in #8:
