In my day - ok it was long time ago - students sat 5 or 6 exams - two a day - AM and PM over three consecutive days. Things have moved on. Today, for ACCA, it is not possible to sit more than one exam a day. Because of the 5 different time zones, there is only one exam start time in any one time zone.

I stand by my original response and I am reliably informed "it wouldn’t be possible under the timetable to sit ATX and SBL on the same day". It is possible to sit on-demand CBEs on the same day but in the UK both SBL and ATX will start at the same time (say 10am) - the same exams will start at earlier in the West (say 8am in the carribbean) and much later in the East (say 4.30pm in Australia). To schedule one exam across all relevant time zones takes a day - it's not possible to sit more than one in one day.
