PPL A converting to PPLH ground exams

Hi all,I was wondering if any one on these forums can advise me what ground school exams I will have to take to accomplish the above..I understand that as I am already a current fixed wing pilot I only have to sit just five of the 9 exams. a none qualified pilot has to pass all 9..cheers

Hm. To get my commercial Helicopter I only needed to do the H principles of flight as I already had my commercial Aeroplane.

I think (it was rather a long time ago!).
