I am completing the ACCA Qualification and wish to computer-based exams. How does that affect any attempts at paper-based exams?
Papers F1, F2 and F3 are available by computer-based exams (CBE). You are eligible to sit a maximum of four papers in a six-month cycle, in any combination of computer-based and paper-based exams. The cycles are:
- 1 February to 31 July
and
- 1 August to 31 January
If you wish to take computer-based exams, please indicate this on your exam entry form each session. You can then enter to sit the balance of your four exams at the paper-based session. For example, you can enter for F1 and F2 by CBE and then elect to sit F3 and any one paper from F4 to F9 at the paper-based session.
