Hotspot (wifi)

Please refer to the MINIMUM technical specification (link on https://www.accaglobal.com/lk/en/help/remote.html). It clearly states in the specification:

“Tethering to a mobile hotspot is EXPLICITLY PROHIBITED.”

You ticked boxes on booking to confirm that you have met requirements.

Also on the same page:

What happens if I lose internet connectivity during the exam?
A reliable internet connection is an essential minimum technical requirement for taking the exam. In the event of a connectivity interruption the exam software will save the exam and if immediate action is taken to restore the connection will allow you to restart your exam at the same point. We recommend using a WIRED connection … If you are experiencing repeated disruptions or a disruption for longer than 5 minutes your exam maybe terminated.

I can only quote the information that i available on ACCA’s www and recommendations https://opentuition.com/topic/remote-invigilation-session-cbes-7-11-june-2021-acca-recommendations

I take PROHIBITED to mean just that – so if the proctor/RI software has any means of knowing that, the exam session will not start/be terminated.

By all means contact ACCA directly https://www.accaglobal.com/vn/en/footer-toolbar/contact-us.html

It states here https://www.accaglobal.com/gb/en/student/exam-entry-and-administration/computer-based-exams/remote-session-exams/before-you-book.html

Please note that passing the system test does not necessarily mean that you fulfill the minimum technical specification.

f you want different answers to the ones I can give you, you will need to ask elsewhere.

Please REFER to the link in my first response – https://www.accaglobal.com/lk/en/help/remote.html – where you that dongle may be used but cannot have a user interface.
