Please note that the session duration time given for each area is a rough guide based on % of syllabus weightings. Research has shown that students who study 15 hours per week are
more likely to pass. These timings must be taken into account with other personal commitments such as work, family time, recreation etc. Obviously the more hours students can dedicate
to studying the higher their chance of success. Please use this as guidance rather than as an exact science of how to study, and please feel free to change it to suit your requirements.
