Here is my timeline: received the last exam results on Apr 12 2021, applied for membership on the same date, as PER was completed before. On Apr 15 2021 received an email saying that my supervisor forgot to indicate that he was an IFAC qualified accountant, which was corrected the following day. On Apr 28 2021 received an email that my membership application was accepted. Paid the fee immediately. Membership certificate in .pdf signed on Apr 29 2021 became available on Apr 30 2021. My ACCA journey is over!

You can also read comments on Reddit and Facebook. Basically, a lot of people could not take the exams and have wasted their preparation time.
I was scheduled to take AFM this morning. All compatibility tests were completed before and went OK. I started the log-in process around 15 minutes before the time exam was scheduled. I was unable to upload any pictures to ProctorCam except the pictures of my driver’s license, and even that after multiple attempts (there were no options or buttons available except words “take your picture” and the “next” button). About 15 minutes after the time the exam was supposed to start someone appeared in the chat box and tried to log me in. Every time there was a “We are sorry, but something went wrong” message. I was doing it from my home desktop hard-wired to the Internet with no firewalls etc, the only apps running in the Task Manager were PearsonVue and Browser Lock. Then the chat disappeared and I was just left there sitting for about one hour. Then someone else appeared in the chat and asked me to re-start the process i.e. take the pictures etc. Then they tried to launch the exam with exactly the same result as before i.e. same error message. About 1.5 hours after the time the exam was scheduled I said, I have a laptop, maybe I should try to log in from my laptop. The person said OK, so I logged out and logged in from my laptop, but by that time it was over 15 minutes since my exam was scheduled to start, so I missed the window and had to cancel the exam. This is incredibly frustrating, as I took 2 months to prepare for the exam and 2 weeks off work for the final preparation.
ACCA should give the students who had technical issues through none of their fault to retake the exam on demand, because preparation takes an extraordinary amount of time which is completely wasted if you can’t take the exam.
I previously went through other exams that used lock-down software from other certifying bodies and never had a single issue. Maybe ACCA should change the provider.
