General ACCAMarch 2021 Remote exams - booking window opens on 25 January

KimKimTutor5y ago
The booking window for remote exams opens on 25 JANUARY. We strongly recommend you book as soon as possible to ensure you can reserve a time and date that suits you. Read on to find out more about remote exams and watch the step-by-step video which outlines how to book available here https://www.accaglobal.com/gb/en/student/exam-entry-and-administration/computer-based-exams/on-demand-cbes/remote-on-demand-cbe-info.html. Remote exams can be taken in any private, quiet space. Upon booking, you will be given an exam start time, just like centre-based exams. You will complete the exam in the allocated time, under the same conditions as an exam centre. The exam will be invigilated remotely by a real person via a WEBCAM. It is YOUR responsibility to ensure that the requirements are met to successfully run the exam from a remote location. You must complete a SYSTEM CHECK in the LOCATION and on the DEVICE you plan to use in the exam which can be carried out easily and quickly via Pearson Vue’s website: https://home.pearsonvue.com/acca/onvue You must also ensure minimum technical requirements are met using this checklist: https://www.accaglobal.com/content/dam/ACCA_Global/Students/Remote-exams/Minimum spec.pdf

Is anyone booking AAA
CCharles5y ago#32
Yep - User busy on first attempt, second attempt there was a system error! I've just rebooked my exam for June...

Hopefully!

Why haven't they explained there is a system error? a simple email letting us know it'll be tomorrow instead would be a simple solution. ACCA communication, customer service and technical infrastructure is awful.

Still no ‘at home’ option for APM either

Trying to book my ATX resit for March. No At Home option.

I’m sat here debating if I want to sit and exam in March, like will they be able to cope with everyone sitting exams in March when they can’t even cope with the booking of the exams! I really feel let down by ACCA at the moment they have no care or consideration for the mental health of their students the constant additional stress for the past 12 months is really not fair we don’t know if we are coming or going !

EVERYONE posting to this forum - I suggest DON'T inundate ACCA with calls - as it will not progress things any more quickly. I have alerted contacts of the need for information and will post here when I have it. If, in the meantime, anyone has success, please do post here.

I'm trying to book TX and there are three option for the UK variant. Is there any difference for these in the context of FA19? Or can I choose any. CBE_TX_UK_OP_F2 CBE_TX_UK_OP_F3 CBE_TX_UK_OP_F4 Thanks

JJames5y ago#42
I've managed to book AAA at home. My colleague is still unable to do the same
HHannah5y ago#43
It just worked for me too. Been trying since last night.
SSpango5y ago#44
Suddenly the Home box appeared and I was able to book. APM March all sorted. Phew, what a relief!
Yyue5y ago#45
I do not have "at home" option either. Are there only limited seats for remote exams?
EElisa5y ago#46
I'm trying to book ATX - I've already had a refund on account from my previous booking but no At Home option - Only the CBE option showing up for me I'm based in UK Edit: Just realised the At Home button is at the top in white not with the picture options It then asked me to choose F1, F2, F3 options?? CBE_ATX_UK_OP_F3 What's that about?

Hi I just booked SBL with he at home function, not sure if it was a coincidence with timing but I used chrome and used the incognito window (Ctrl + Shft + n) as someone else said they did it that way. Again this may be a coincidence with timing as others seem to now be able to book the exam, but worth a try if you still can't see the at home function. Good Luck

@charlie100 - see the guide https://www.accaglobal.com/content/dam/ACCA_Global/Students/Remote-exams/Step-by-step%20guide%20to%20booking%20remote%20session%20CBE.pdf Depending on your location there maybe more than 1 timeslot available. These are represented as F with a number (for example: F1, F2, F3).

I have the same options for FR, what does this mean??
CCatherine5y ago#55
Has anyone else who has successfully rebooked for a remote exam not received a confirmation email? I booked over 2 hours ago and am worried I’ve received no confirmation, although I can see the invoice on my account, the credit from cancelling the previous exam has gone.
SShannon5y ago#56
This worked for me!! So thank you so much for your help and good luck in your exams!
SSarah5y ago#57
This worked for me! Exam now booked :)

I am in the UK. I just booked FR and AA exams. I have been trying to book exams on my ipad, iphone and macbook since midnight, but it has not been successful. Then I tried on my husband's Dell laptop, it showed "at home" option. When I was booking exams on the Dell laptop, I also refreshed the booking page on my macbook and there was no "at home" option. Its tricky!!
JJames5y ago#59
I chose option 1, didn’t realise what it meant so just picked top!

Managed to book my ATX exam now for March. Decided on an afternoon exam this time. Bit concerned about the stipulation where any outside noise is heard voids the exam. I live two doors up from a busy shop...
