Terms and sources

Where the numbers come from

Every figure on this site carries the document it was taken from, the date that document was checked, and how close that citation sits to the body running the exam:

Figures a source itself rounded are shown with a leading ≈approximately. Where a figure has no source, it is not shown at all — the page says so instead of guessing.

No warranty

Exams change their eligibility rules, fees, patterns and dates, sometimes mid-cycle. This site is a starting point for a decision, not an authority. Check anything you are going to act on against the official information brochure, and treat a disagreement between this site and that brochure as this site being wrong.

Preparation-hour figures are estimates unless the page says otherwise. They describe roughly how much work an exam is, not how much work you personally will need.

Copying

Facts belong to nobody. Applicant counts, seat counts and eligibility rules are public information, and we would rather more people published them properly.

The wording, the explanatory notes, the way the material is organised and the analysis built on top of it — including how preparation overlap between exams is modelled — are ours, and are not free to reproduce. Automated bulk collection of this site is not permitted.

If you want to use something here, ask. The answer is usually yes.

Something wrong?

If a figure on this site disagrees with the official document, the figure is wrong and we want to know. Tell us which page and which document, and it gets corrected and re-dated.
