    ACCA’s Practice Platform includes the Specimen Exam in CBE format and THREE practice exams based on recent exams (updated to align with any syllabus, structure or format changes).

    The Practice Platform allows you to:
    – attempt questions to time
    – mark and debrief your answers using a detailed marking guide and suggested answer

    You can log in to the Practice Platform using your myACCA account.
    Alternatively select the exam you want to practice from this page https://www.accaglobal.com/uk/en/student/exam-support-resources/professional-exams-study-resources/p7/cbe-question-practice.html and you will be prompted for your myACCA credentials.

    For further information on how to use the platform see the support page here https://www.accaglobal.com/uk/en/student/exam-support-resources/professional-exams-study-resources/cbe-practice-platform-support.html.

    Note that if you launch the CBE Specimens directly from this page https://www.accaglobal.com/gb/en/student/exam-support-resources/strategic-professional-specimen-exams-cbe.html and NOT via MyACCA you will not have the functionality of the Practice Platform.

    Hi. On the CBE Question Practice Platform for AAA, why isn’t their a spreadsheet feature for some of the questions (for example AAA-UK December 2018 – Question 2)?

    I had this issue in the actual September 2020 sitting last year too.

    With regard to real CBE SP exams, per the guidance
    https://www.accaglobal.com/content/dam/ACCA_Global/Students/resourceFinder/SP-CBE-guide-others-Aug-2020.pdf

    “You may be presented with one or more response options within which to construct your answer.”

    I suggest therefore that where an answer is to be predominantly written (as in AAA) there may be just a wordprocessing sheet and for an answer to be predominantly computational (as may be for a part of AFM, say) there may be just a spreadsheet.

    When in AAA a question says, for example, “using analytical procedures”, the lack of a spreadsheet should actually discourage candidates from presenting a table of ratios which the examiner does NOT want. See for example in the S/D20 report available here:
    http://www.accaglobal.com/uk/en/student/exam-support-resources/professional-exams-study-resources/p7/examiners-reports1.html

    On page 7:

    “Candidates should be aware that unless a ratio, trend or calculation is discussed in the context of a risk then that calculation will not be awarded marks as it is only through this discussion that the calculation becomes relevant. Hence candidates should not spend time calculating lots of figures they will not use.”

    In other words, the %s, ratios, etc have to be in the body of the answer to be credited in context.

    Thank you so much for your response Kim – this is tremendously helpful. There have been so many technical glitches with the CBE exams (and even exam registration and exam attendance docket access for some) that I had (mistakenly) thought the lack of a spreadsheet was another one of those glitches.

    FYI I’ll be sitting the AFM exam too – so should there be no Word Processor during that CBE exam, I’ll know in advance why.

    Thanks again Kim – very much appreciated.
