    I am a qualified Chartered Accountant (ICAI). Which papers are exempt for me?. Also, at the professional level is there any order in which I have to write papers or I can appear for any paper (essential or optional) first by my choice.

    The following link should give you the relevant exemptions if you enter details of graduating year with ICAI. Papers at professional level can be studied in any order as long as timetable permits.

    Hope this is helpful.

    Hi everyone!
    For CBE exams, does the centre provide rough sheets to work out the solution? or do I have to mentally work out the steps?

    @BhoomiS – welcome to OT!

    If sitting at a CBE centre see here https://www.accaglobal.com/us/en/help/centre-based-exams.html:

    “Is the use of scrap paper still permitted in centre-based exams?
    Yes, you may use scrap paper during your centre-based exam for any notes and calculations.
    Scrap paper will be available on request at your exam centre on the day.”

    But NOT if sitting remote CBE – there is a more comprehensive post here https://opentuition.com/topic/acca-ma-cbe-scrap-paper-or-scratch-pad

    You should be aware of the “scratchpad” function in CBE – nothing has to be done entirely “mentally”.
