    I am looking to sit F6 UK tax in September, and I am unsure whether to sit the CBE or paper based exam. Could someone please explain the differences? (E.g method marks, workings, etc. )

    Thanks

    I suggest you take a look at the guide https://www.accaglobal.com/content/dam/ACCA_Global/Students/exam/Guide%20to%20CBEs_FINAL.PDF

    In short – there are different OT types in CBE (Sections A and B) and the most significant difference is answering Section C (40% of the exam) in the constructed response workspace.

    Are you sitting the exam in the UK? Pretty sure there is no choice in the UK anymore, you can only sit the CBE version. But it’s different for other countries.

    I see
    Yes sitting it in the UK, shows that paper based was removed as of March 2018. Thanks for the help

    Also another question is how long does it usually take for provisional results to process, I am unable to book my CBE for September as it requires completion of the knowledge modules ( which I have completed)

    Many thanks

    If you sat one of F1-F4 recently and passed, your result should be uploaded to myACCA within 48-72 hours.
