I am planning to take this course and trying to estimate how long it will take to cover the material. I know everyone is different but I am trying to get a rough idea so I can plan accordingly.
Thanks!

The final exam is a major pain, so make sure you take the time to properly study every detail about CPCU’s. It took me about a week to complete.

It all depends, don't stress about that course, it's free and unlimited attempts, plus it's open book... It took me two tries and I finished it in a day (like many others, as I had the exam open and the course work/materials open in another monitor).
For the FREE courses and non proctored exams, I highly recommend a second monitor for multi-tasking and reviewing materials such as the electronic textbooks for courses from providers like StraighterLine.

If you are good at tests you can finish it in a few hours or less. It is open book and you get multiple tries.
It took me two tries but I spread thr the two attempts over two weeks. I probably total only spent 8 hours on the course maybe less.

Yup, there are no restrictions for the free credits/open book courses - just log into the application twice. One browser on my laptop to do the test, one browser on the extended monitor to review the course material. You can log into the courses as many times as you want, all the providers allow this. You may want to review their requirements/restrictions just in case.
You just can't have the open materials for proctored exams that do not have an open book policy... like Study.com courses and some selective StraighterLine courses. Here's a list of open book exams from StraighterLine, I took almost all the SL courses there are... I love having a second monitor to have my e-textbook open when doing my own notes too, for review.
Several of the other providers have different proctored exams, some have open book, most don't.

Thanks everyone. I read over the material and did the test and pasted on the first go. I have a real estate license and the ethics part was almost identical.
I did find resource this Quizlet had word for word questions that showed up on my exam.

I started this journey in the summer of 2016. I hoped to be done sooner, but I am still proud of the rate at which I have gotten my schooling done with respect to the many months of military training and deployments I have undergone.
