General ACCAExam cancelled

LLizzy8y ago
Hi everyone I was supposed to sit P4 last Friday but the exam session was cancelled due to bad weather. Has this happened to anyone before? If so what happens next do we have to just wait until the next session in March? Thanks!

If you check the back of the attendance docket this question is usually addressed.It generally says this issue is dealt with by waiving the fee for the exam at next session unless ACCA can't obtain insurance to cover event in question on reasonable commercial basis.This is usually a reference to an event which could cause widespread disruption such as an influenza pandemic.Hope this answers your question.I would,however, contact ACCA directly about this matter and possibly at a later stage check your exam entry for March.

I'm don't know the answer but I imagine you will have to wait until the next sitting. You have my sympathies though as that must be incredibly frustrating to be prepared to sit a exam only to have to wait until next time. It's not as if you don't have to study in those 3 months.

I have been credited my exam fee and I have to re-enter for the sitting in March. It is my final exam as well, how frustrating!

Hi Lizzy, That's a real shame, I would have been really annoyed if that happened. A quick question is there an approach you recommend for when you studied P4 as I am planning to sit it in March Thanks, Samir

@anon39 said: Hi Samir, Review F9 stuff as basis for P4, if happy with, work through examples of the new stuff such as the fIve steps on futures & options, APV, BSOP. Practice lots of questions to get used to the style of questions, definitely do plenty on hedging techniques as always gets tested. You won't be able to complete the exam as too much to do in the time, you need to secure the easy marks first in the exam which there always will & have an attempt on the hard parts. I also found a book I bought by d evans, a kaplan publication on AFM very helpful in breaking down the techniques especially futures & options. Best of luck.
Thanks, will find my F9 notes and start looking at that just after Christmas and go from there. Will look at making sure my hedging questions will be done throughly. Thank you for your help.
