    Hi All,

    i’m about to register with ACCA to sit F8 in June this year. Just wondering, have many chosen to sit the CBE as opposed to the paper based exam? When I went to register for the June exam, I was given the option and it made me think about which one to pick. I hadn’t given it much thought but I kind of like the idea of doing it on a computer and not having to actually write in a booklet. I work with computers every day anyway.

    Any thoughts/opinions?

    Thanks

    I’m going with CBE, looking at the historic pass rates. CBE’s have 70%+ pass rate, paper based can be as low as under 50%

    I just booked mine for Liverpool and it only gave me the CBE choice!

    I hate CBE i like writing all over my question sheet and making notes.

    Any advice from people who have taken CBE and whats the setup?
