Questions

Can I download it?

No, and that is deliberate. Everything is read on the site, on any device you sign in on. There is nothing to lose, and nothing to forward.

How long do I keep it?

365 days from the day you pay.

What if the syllabus changes?

Revisions are written into the same subject, and you keep reading the current version for as long as your access runs.

Can I buy one subject instead of the whole semester?

Not yet. It is priced per semester because the solved answers cross-reference modules across all five subjects, and splitting them breaks the links that make the answers useful.

Is this enough to pass?

It covers the prescribed syllabus and every question the papers listed on this page asked. It is not a substitute for your lectures or for reading the bare Acts, and we would not claim otherwise.

Can I get a refund?

Once a semester is unlocked it stays unlocked, and there is no way to hand back reading you have already done. That is why this page shows you so much before you pay: the cover of every subject, every chapter in it by name, and the page each one starts on. Read that first and buy only if it is the book you want. If something genuinely went wrong, being charged twice or paying and having nothing unlock, write to us and we refund it: the cancellation and refund policy sets out which cases those are.

Does it renew automatically?

No. It is one payment for one semester. Nothing is charged again unless you choose to buy another semester yourself.
