What's the difference between on-demand and session exams?

On-demand exams (for Applied Knowledge papers and Law) can be taken at any time, while session exams (for all other papers) are held in the March, June, September, and December windows only.

How do I book my ACCA exam?

You can book your exams through the 'Exam Entry' section of your myACCA account on the official ACCA Global website.

Can I change my exam date after booking?

Yes, you can amend your exam booking for session exams up until the standard entry deadline, but you cannot change the exam session to a different one.

How many exams should I take in one sitting?

If you are working full-time, taking one exam per session is a realistic and sustainable approach that allows for deep learning and reduces the risk of burnout.

What happens if I miss the standard entry deadline?

If you miss the standard deadline, you will have to pay a higher fee during the late entry period, assuming it is still open and there are centers with availability.

How can I create a study plan around the timetable if my work schedule is unpredictable?

Focus on creating a flexible plan with weekly, not daily, targets. Some weeks you may do more, some less, but having the exam date as a fixed point allows you to adjust your pace without losing sight of the goal.

Am I at a disadvantage if I only book one exam per session?

No, you are actually at an advantage. Focusing on one paper allows for deeper understanding and a higher chance of passing, which is more efficient long-term than failing multiple papers.

What do I do if my exam is cancelled or rescheduled by ACCA?

ACCA will communicate directly with you via email and your myACCA portal with instructions and options, which typically include a refund or rebooking for a future session.
