    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)”?

    @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
