Can I change my exam date after booking?

ACCA has a process for amending your exam entry, but it must be done before the standard entry deadline, and options may be limited.

How many exams should I book for one session?

If you are working full-time, it is strongly recommended you book only one exam per session to ensure you can study the material in sufficient depth.

When are the on-demand ACCA exams available?

On-demand exams for the Applied Knowledge papers and Law (LW) variant can be taken at any time of the year at an approved computer-based exam centre.

You can resit an exam in the very next session, which is about three months later, giving you a good amount of time to review an re-prepare.
