    Where does it say you can’t have any professional papers passed before submitting RAP?

    To answer your question: The earliest you may submit will be period 40.

    See page 19 on this doc:

    I remember reading something like that. Maybe I misread. Thanks for clearing that up.
    Also the document you linked is very helpful.

    Final question— how long would I need to get through the entire thing? Period 40 RAP submission last date is 13 May. How many months prior should I start?

    It took me a couple of months … spent a few hours every Saturday and Sunday. Make sure you consult with a good mentor.

    The answer is – it depends.

    Information gathering, planning, writing and improving the quality of your RAP will take substantial amount of time. Therefore it will depend on your individual situation: if you are full time employed/student/unemployed, do you have any personal obligations (family, friends, community). Take into account possible interruptions (holidays, illness, sometimes you will just be too tired to write another paragraph – I know this from my own experience).

    I think for full time employed person 3-4 months of solid work should be fine. Taking into account that you will spend some time after your work and most of the weekends preparing your RAP. Also if you are an ACCA student I would advise to skip March session.

    are there any restrictions on the number of attemppts you have taken to reach the exams(if it has then how many) and if you have exceded the attempts is it imposible for us to apply for obu.

    As long as you have cleared all of the foundation skills papers and are still with the 10 year registration limit you are eligible fior the degree programme and may submit your work for assessment.

    With the RAP you are allowed up to 3 attempts to achieve a pass subject to the 10 year limit. Once either of those limits is reached then you may not subsequently submit.

    Hi guys.

    I need some advice. I think I am at risk of not being eligible for the OBU degree. I passed my first ACCA exam in June 2010. I understand I have 10 years to complete the degree so I should be completing it by June 2020. However, by when should I pass FR, TX, FM and PM? I have already completed AA and LW. I have not been able to enter for both September 2019 and December 2019 exam sitting. So next exam sitting I can enter is March 2020. Please advise whether that it is too late for being eligible for the RAP submission.

    Thank you for your time.

    Today I have passed FR and after that the OBU status is now being shown as not eligible. I have opt-in for OBU when registering. And as there are no longer requirement of English language proficiency, why would it show to be ineligible? Please someone guide me about this.
    Thanks

    This is not a question that we can answer reliably and therefore you are advised to contact acca@brookes.ac.uk and they should be able to advise
