** In order to provide some guidance to course participants as to the length of time it will take to be sufficiently prepared
to write the final examination, CSI has prepared this estimate of the number of hours an average participant could possibly
expect to spend studying for a course. Please note that these are only recommended hours of study developed based on research and our course content, however, this does not mean that some students with exceptional backgrounds
would not take less time than recommended or that students with no background at all in finance or economics would not take
longer than the maximum.
