General ACCAPetition for ACCA to change exam dates

PPianoNaz8y ago
Does anyone know how to start an online petition? One student wrote the following and I strongly agree. I am creating this topic to highlight and discuss the problems being faced by many ACCA students associated with Industry/Employer in Finance section while sitting in ACCA Exam in 1st week of exam month Issue: ACCA exams normally start in the 1st week of exam months four time in a year and many students including myself facing difficulties to secure short vacations/offs for ACCA exam revision from employers due to month-end financial closing/reporting timelines. Recommendations: ACCA can help/reduce the sufferings of those students by extending the exams dates and starting ACCA Exams in 2nd week of each exam month, it will provide some relief for above-mentioned candidates to secure some days off/vacation for revision with no work pressure and attend exams with peace and concentration

Curious that the 1st week won. Anyone who prefers 1st week mind to share the reason why?

I strongly agree that the second week in every week would be better I would have thought that ACCA would have realised a lot of their students, probably a majority are in industry It is very stressful having month end then an exam a few days later. its always a struggle getting time off without affecting your team
