If you look through the competency tests for past years you'll get a very good idea of what is required.

You probably don't need to start worrying until December. Between now and then, finding a Boost library you would like to contribute to and finding a mentor who would be willing to mentor you would be a good idea. Note that this year Boost did not receive Google approval. We hope this will be remedied next year.
