@jam090909 – you do not say what exam you are trying to register for – if strategic professional, CBE is not available until September 2021 in USA https://www.accaglobal.com/vn/en/student/exam-entry-and-administration/computer-based-exams/strategic-professional-cbes.html
I tested and simulated my exam scenario yesterday and then booked remote exams for PM and FM in March. I had previously booked in centre, but these were cancelled. I had a “At Home” button on my list. I had pretty much no problems booking, except for there being some confusion as to the list of individual exam options that came up (weird letters and underscores). No explanation as to what the different options were from ACCA, so I took a chance and chose one. The first time I tried, it didn’t work and it cancelled the exam, but the second and third time it was fine.
Hope you guys get it all sorted and best of luck on the day 🙂
Hi Kim, thanks for your reply. I am trying to register for ATX and SBR. I did not book an exam prior to January 25th. My understanding is that the remotely administered exam should be available to those who are in areas affected by the cancellation of center exams. I took SBL remotely in December, but that time I booked a center exam prior to cancellation. As of today I still do not have the “at home” option in my exam planner, but in last December that option popped up right after my prior registration was cancelled. So does this mean I have to have a cancelled registration in order to be eligible for a remote session? Thank you!
@jam090909 – I understand what you are saying – I think the best thing you can do is contact ACCA directly https://forms.accaglobal.com/contact-us or your local office https://www.accaglobal.com/vn/en/footer-toolbar/contact-us/global-offices.html#USA
Maybe your myACCA account requires some reset – I just don’t know – sorry!
Hi
I’ve emailed ACCA but not heard back yet so wondered if anyone could help?When trying to book my remote exam for APM on the ACCA page – it gives 3 options of this exam to choose from.
Does anyone know what the difference is? Below are the references:
1. CBE_APM_NA_OP_F1
2. CBE_APM_NA_OP_F2
3. CBE_APM_NA_OP_F3Thanks,
ShannonPlease is there anyone here from Toronto writing ACCA exams, I really want to make enquiries, please reply!!!
I believe these are just different time slots.
1. CBE_APM_NA_OP_F1
2. CBE_APM_NA_OP_F2
3. CBE_APM_NA_OP_F3Hello, I’m from Toronto and I just want to if any one else here is taking March or June 2021. I understand that centers are closed for Covid. Has anyone tried registering for June exam and if so please what are the exam centers in Toronto. Seems none showing. If you have any information please let me know.
Hey Hinna, I see you are from Canada too. What are the test locations? Can i message you for enquiries, I’m really confused here
Hey guys,
My question is this. I’m from Canada, Toronto and I’d want to take SBR in June. I tried booking but the center showing claims they have not been authorized for conducting ACCA exams. I was so confused and decided not to book. I’m very skeptical as to wait till after March diet passes but then that’s extra cost. Please I need advice as to what to do. I want ti take it June 2021 but I don’t seem to find locations in Toronto, Canada. Can anyone help me please??
@Kim Smith.@shannonmcnamara – ACCA advises that you just select one – any one – and on a later page you get to choose start time.
@chinedu123 – where are you seeing “the center showing”?
As far as I am aware, ACCA does not advertise centre locations as they are not “cast in stone” and often change. Of course, some of the big venues are better known and don’t change because in locations where there are huge numbers of students there are not that many large venues suitable to hold exams for ACCA to choose from. Where only a small capacity is needed, ACCA will have a lot of choice about venue and will change from time to time.If you are looking at the listing here https://www.accaglobal.com/gb/en/student/exam-entry-and-administration/computer-based-exams/on-demand-cbes/cbe-centre-list.html these are centres for ON-DEMAND CBE (i.e. applied knowledge exams only) and not to be confused with centres for “session” exams (the week windows in Mar/Jun/Sept/Dec for applied skills and strategic professional).
I can not make a booking for the remote on -demand CBEs exam for March 2021. Can you help, please
@sidemudia – this thread is about remote “session CBEs” – not on-demand CBE.
See here for remote on-demand CBE:
https://www.accaglobal.com/gb/en/student/exam-entry-and-administration/computer-based-exams/on-demand-cbes/remote-on-demand-cbe-info.htmlI’ve been trying to book my final exam (SBL) but been struggling, when I go to book it says “No exams are currently available in planner for your chosen exam session as either the session is not yet open to accept bookings, or you have no exams available to book”
Contacted ACCA but obviously takes a while for them to get back, just wondering if anyone else had that problem and if so how did you resolve it?
Thanks in advance
Whne I book and confirm availability for CBE, It directs me to the planner to select the exam location center. In Toronto it’s showing, “precise solutions centre” but when I called, just to make sure, I was told that they have not been approved to take ACCA exams. So I didn’t book and pay. I’d like to know the center location for CBE strategic professionals that Ontario Toronto has if anyone here has written it, before because it’s my first time. I’m taking SBR
@chinedu – I suggest you contact ACCA directly https://forms.accaglobal.com/contact-us
We have very few students from Canada using this forum so you could wait a long time for a relevant response – if any
@shakir2021 – select any – you will be able to choose start time after you have accepted Ts & Cs and confirmed the date on the calendar. If you don’t see a time slot to suit you can go back and see if choosing a different option changes the time slots that are available to you. (No one has reported back to confirm whether it makes any difference.)
I do have Firewall and VPN on my corporate laptop and people from IT say I should be fine for a remote exam. Did anyone successfully use corporate laptops with protection in previous sittings?
Please advice, as tomorrow is the last day for booking. Thank you@mihaela03 – point 8 on page 6 of the “Guide to Booking & Sitting Remote Session Computer Based Exams (CBEs)” https://www.accaglobal.com/content/dam/ACCA_Global/Students/Remote-exams/guide-to-booking-and-sitting-computer-based-exams-cbes.pdf
“DO NOT SIT YOUR EXAM IN SETTINGS WITH A CORPORATE FIREWALL”You should be aware that if you go against recommendations/advice and have an issue on the day, you will not be able to claim any mitigating circumstances (for example) and there would be no valid reason for ACCA to credit you the exam fee.
Hi from Mongolia,
I have ordered two exams (APM & SBL) for March sitting. My exams just got cancelled yesterday. But only SBL exam fee is credited whereas APM exam is still booked on March 3 in my planner.
Is it possible that only SBL exam is available for remote sitting and APM exam remains as a paper sitting?
Also, what does it mean by this “Mongolia (only Applied Skills exams and surplus Strategic Professional entries)”?
https://www.accaglobal.com/gb/en/student/exam-entry-and-administration/covid-19-exam-availability.html@nar317 – I have checked this out with ACCA and I believe the wording will be changed as it is not clear. It is due to reduced exam room capacities in Mongolia centres that not all students can be accommodated for paper-based exams. The excess numbers (“surplus”) are being offered remote invigilation. As you are entered for two exams you are not being forced into sitting two exams remotely or having to defer both – you have a choice whether to sit SBL – but your APM booking is not affected. For confirmation of this you should contact ACCA https://forms.accaglobal.com/contact-us
