How to obtain the official manual
After enrolling, download the complimentary guide from the HKSI portal under Upcoming Activity or the official app under Menu → Downloads. Exam access lasts until the exam date. If you have not enrolled, the official site also sells guides; verify the version and current purchase terms there.
Official guide versions and purchases ↗Study manual, sample test or past paper?
The eStudy Guide teaches the syllabus. Official samples illustrate question style and do not form a complete past paper. HKSIPapers questions and notes are independently written learning resources. Check the resource’s author and edition rather than assuming a PDF labelled “past paper” is an official examination.
Try 20 original Paper 1 questions →Why are Papers 13 and 14 missing?
The current LE does not include Papers 13 and 14. The active catalogue has 17 papers: 1–12 and 15–19. Check the official overview if a new licensing framework changes that list.
