Most candidates spend roughly 80–120 hours per part, or about 3–4 months per part while working full time. The right plan depends on your background and how many hours a week you can commit. This planner turns those inputs into a concrete week-by-week schedule across the exam's domains and topics, so you always know what to study next.
Study each part topic by topic
The plan links every week to the matching topic study pages and to the free practice test. For the full exam overview, read the EA exam guide or estimate fees with the exam cost calculator.
