I took paper 3 this year - didn't go for more as I wanted to "test the waters". Obviously I don't yet know if I've passed but to give you an idea how much time I've spent. Note first that this paper is as close as they come to my day job so much less learning required than I'll need for the others.
I think I'll have put in around 3 hours most weekends from May onwards, plus using my commute for reading sometimes (20 mins a few times a week). Study group which was nominally fortnightly was prone to being cancelled so won't have added as much as 2 hours a month. If you plan to double that for 2 modules as a rough estimate ...
Do go to the Exam event (Mods 2,3 usually); next year it will be Sat & Sun 10th & 11th May 2014 at Signet in DERBY. It is very helpful.
