I spent 5 years on a master's degree which I haven't finished. Do include that 5 years in counting the total number of years of education? Or I shouldn't include it since I haven't finished the degree? Thank you very much.

Thank you very much. Yea, i wasn't sure about that years completed. Whether it would include the years i spent for the post graduate or not. Just basing on the form itself without looking at the guide number of years in education in total it's a bit misleading. Do I need to include letter of explanation about it when submittig my application?
