    Hi @rikah,

    Well, I had completed all the fundamental papers as CBEs

    CBEs are more advantageous comparatively because
    -Easy editing
    -Allows you to change your answers easily for MCQs
    -typing out answers require lesser manual effort than writing them
    -quick calculation due to spreadsheet software (especially helpful for calculation based papers like PM and FR)

    Hence, also keeping in mind the advancing workplace due to technology and computer based accounting, CBEs is always preferred though its a personal choice(provided one has a choice to make)

    However, if someone does not have exposure to computerised working or has a slow typing speed they will have to get themselves familiarized with the CBEs ( resources are available on the ACCA website) and will need to increase their typing speed.

    Hope this helps.
