How can they seriously go in to this session with just one paper ready? I know they’ve built up a large number of questions for the F papers so that’s a little easier, but I was expecting four or five varients considering the time zones involved and how easy it would be for someone to cheat if they wanted to.

After investigation by the support team it become clear that the system have accepted my work.
Regarding the numerous issues during the exam – I have only submitted the mitigation circumstances firm.I believe that if someone from ACCA really want to know more details (more than the 1000 characters allowed in their form) they can contact me.
Those difficulties really afected my performance. My preparation started Sep. 2020 and I concienciesly gave up essential calculations just because of the system and time constrains.
I have been external auditor for 8 years and I’m saying that if you really want to evaluate the knowledge ot the student those 3hr. 15min are not enough for this exam for those long questions.
Currently it is a typewriting exercise.
I’m perfectly aware of ACCA’s examination logic and the above is my personal opinion. I might be biased but we all are in some way…

Hi I had the same issue. My exam was launched but I was able to do the exam initially 45 minutes but after that due to internet problem it was revoked, have to sit again in March 2021 very disappointed
There are multiple questions for the AAA exam, not everyone will get the same questions. However all the questions will be exposed throughout the day.
I had a technical issue halfway through my exam I could not type or navigate on the system. I received no support in 40mins. I received no phone call. I had no idea what do and called ACCA. I was incorrectly told to turn off my computer and I could resit AAA next week.
ACCA remote exam team in ACCA gave incorrect technical advice and wrong information.
I was then later that day told I cannot resit the exam, ACCA would never do a second sitting because exam questions are exposed throughout the day. Key issue for regulatory approval.
I turned off my computer because ACCA told me so , and was then told by ACCA I should not have turned off my computer.
I then found out some students were offered a sitting the following morning. ACCA reasoning was that the resit was last minute and within 24hours.
I was furious by the complete mess this exam sitting was.
We as students are expected to identify quality control when ironically there appears to be very little quality control, internal controls or accountability from ACCA for this exam sitting
What opinion in reporting question did everyone state? I though it would be qualified, except for as the 2 issues were material, but not pervasive.
Reviewing the answers, some calculated ratios, but there was no COGS given, so the whole P&L calculation could have been questioned and ratios not relied upon.First time I struggled to find enough risks, but picked up in goodwill calculation that included ( wrongly) in the consideration was 2 mln consultancy fees of previous CFO.I though its IAS24 Related party standard was applicable as ROMM, obviously gearing , overstatement of goodwill , poor corporate governance -errors in FS and as business risk to due system inefficiencies. Other business risks I though change in key mngm personnel, new system , inexperienced new CFO .
What did you guys write for ethics – did you state that for bothunlisted and listed you codul apply safeguards? I though that for unlisted co for what they asked auditors to do was not acceptable.
The launch of the exam was 45 minutes late, but then it went all right ( home based), so fingers crossed!
