Remote Invigilation SESSION CBEs 6-10 September 2021 – ACCA RECOMMENDATIONS!

A “comfort break” means a toilet break.

@Mahima077 – have you checked out the functionality in ACCA’s CBE practice platform?

@Nikitagarwal – my words added in [ ]

10. You are allowed ONE comfort break of up to 5 minutes [i.e. the period of absence from your webcam can be checked]. You must NOTIFY your invigilator using the chat function before leaving [“please be advised I am leaving for a comfort break”] and on returning [“I have returned”] but DO NOT NEED TO WAIT for permission before leaving [I don’t think this can be made any clearer – you must not expect/wait for an invigilator response!] .

Do I need an exam docket and photographic ID?
A docket is issued for remote exams, but it is for information only; you don’t need to use it to check in to or launch your exam.

However, you will be required to present photographic ID as proof of your identity during the check-in process. The following forms of ID are accepted:

Valid passport
Driving licence
National ID card
Biometric residence permit

@veenalakshmi – NO – there is one exam week for everyone: 6-10th September as per the SUBJECT line of this post and also here https://www.accaglobal.com/an/en/student/exam-entry-and-administration/exam-timetables.html

If on one of these days a candidate encounters an IT issue which cannot be resolved through troubleshooting https://www.accaglobal.com/an/en/student/exam-entry-and-administration/computer-based-exams/remote-session-exams/on-exam-day/troubleshooting-guidance.html then, and only then, a contingency timetable will be available 11-15th September.

@deftoneseire07 – I suggest you check thoroughly the trouble shooting link in my post of September 5, 2021 at 8:17 am (above). But based on what you write I don’t think you can have closed all applications (except OnVue and Finder). On a windows computer “Alt+Ctrl+DEL” you can select “Start Task Manager” – under the “applications” tab you will be able to see all the programs that are running (at any point in time) and from there you can select and “End” all the tasks that you need to close. You don’t have to wait for the next exam to check out task manager. Other things to check – that you don’t have a corporate firewall/VPN and that you have licensed/authentic/original windows OS software, etc.

@jerushah – “webcam issues” have been common in previous exam sessions – be sure to check out the specific webcam guidance here https://www.accaglobal.com/an/en/student/exam-entry-and-administration/computer-based-exams/remote-session-exams/on-exam-day/troubleshooting-guidance.html

See here for “Check your exam has been submitted video” https://www.accaglobal.com/hk/en/student/exam-entry-and-administration/computer-based-exams/remote-session-exams/on-exam-day.html The webpage suggests that you should allow up to 72 hours for this confirmation.
