11. How much preparation time do I need if I would like to sit the Paper 1 exam in May?
 

We would suggest that 1 month preparation time should be relatively sufficient to clear 2 exams for a financial market practitioner. Our LE Paper 1 eLearning course is conducted about a 2 week timeframe from the actual exam date. You definitely want to leverage off short-term memory to do this.

Besides, it really depends on how good you are with studying for exams. And when was the last time you seriously studied and attempted an exam? The Hong Kong exam body (HKSI) recommends 81 hours of study time for Paper 1. Most of Kaplan students probably put in a total of 30- 45 study hours inclusive of the 15 hours Kaplan course. (Please refer to the following table)

Preparation time for LE (English).

12. Is the viewing of the eLearning sessions unlimited? Will it expire?

As soon as a particular session is released on the online platform, you will have unlimited viewing until the online subscription expired (E.g. if the start date is 21st Oct 09, the expired date of online course is 20th Nov 09).
