@Kim Smith . I posted here about an hour ago, was my post deleted? I would like some clarification. I did not receive any message/warning by a moderator. Perhaps a technical fault, in which case I would like to repost.

Sorry to break it to you @readerview. You can’t do anything unless you have serious resources.
The root cause of the problem is that this whole field of remote examinations is still in it’s infancy. There was no need for it before, it was brought upon by the pandemic and I applaud ACCA for swiftly bringing this technology to use.
There is a certain level of trust that you need to conduct such examinations which quite simply does not exist. In hindsight I should’ve seen this coming.
I could’ve gone to the loo twice in a 3 hour period (I am human after all, had too much OJ and coffee, my bad) or I could’ve just kept a book in there. Who knows what really happened? I do. Will they take my word for it? I seriously doubt it. This system is broken.
This was a terrible first experience. I wish I hadn’t given the exam remotely. The vaccine was nowhere in sight here in Pakistan, and I live with vulnerable family members. I couldn’t have risked it.
Haven’t gotten COVID thus far and I plan to keep it that way through immense precautions. I have saved lives through my selflessness, unlike many others, FOR A WHOLE YEAR!
That’s how they should decide their cases imo, a negative COVID antibody test for all those who claimed the pandemic as the reason to give their exam online. I mean, what other reason can they give for remote examinations?
After going over all the rules and regulations for remote examinations, it seems like the rules page has changed significantly since I last looked at them a week before the examination.
I don’t even know if they are investigating me because of what @kim said or because of any other reason unbeknownst to me. For all I know they could expel me, impose a hefty fine or simply let me go with a warning.
For reference here is what Kim said:
“is that some students were undoubtedly in breach of exam rules – not just individually but in concert with others. They have, through their selfishness, implicated others.”I was just on the phone with an ACCA CS and will not tell me how long it will take. I would’ve booked a session CBE at the nearest center since commercial vaccinations are starting next week in Karachi, but they won’t allow it during the investigation.
@readerview If that’s true, I could start a new life in 6-8 months. I looked over at several cases at the link Kim gave, most “Decisions of ACCA’s Disciplinary Committees 2020” take at least 6 months to a year. There are some whose decisions have taken up to 2 years to reach.We need a reasonable time frame. We can not put our lives on hold because of “in due course”, even during a pandemic. Kick me out in a week? fine by me. Absolve me after 6 months or more? Ehh… And on top of it all there apparently is an appeal process after this.
Thank you very much for your assistance Kim, I highly appreciate it. This clarifies the issue at hand.
Hi, I’ve been silently monitoring this thread since day 1. I was confident that I would be absolved. I got the following email instead for my TX-UK exam.
…”In the case of your sitting, I am sorry to confirm that our investigation has highlighted significant concerns which means we will be withholding your results.
As a result, your case will be referred to ACCA’s Professional Conduct department who will be in touch in due course. If you have already made an entry for the March 21 session, your entry will be withdrawn and a credit will be applied to your MyACCA account within the next 2 working days.”…
I have never cheated on an exam. Worked hard for 2 months and this is what I get. Completely baffled. Any suggestions as to the best course of action?
