Use the arithmetic average as a practice reference

140/100=1.4 minutes, or 84 seconds, per question is a content-time average. It is not a hard cutoff for each item. Choose any practice review reserve explicitly and record whether slow responses came from reading, concepts or decision reasoning.

Keep the two enrolment milestones separate

The official policy requires scheduling within five months and sitting within six months of registration. Use the dates shown for your own enrolment rather than treating booking and sitting as the same deadline.

Connect factor knowledge to investment decisions

Use the current official syllabus and practice presentation. The Academy’s factor, evidence and measurement resources deepen selected learning tasks; they do not predict a pass or replace the full official coverage.
