    May I know what’s going on if I fail to complete all the exams within 10 years?
    I start feeling afraid that I fail to do this on time!
    I got the final exam for many times and still haven’t confidence to pass it in coming exam.
    I am thinking to get 2 exams to get higher chance to pass any one of it.
    Do you think this is good idea?
    I really don’t know what to do. Please help! Thanks!

    The 10 year time limit has been removed and no longer applies.

    The new rule is that you must pass all the P level exams within 7 years of taking the first P exam. If you do not, then any P exams that you passed but more than 7 years ago have to be taken again.

    You can find the full rules on the ACCA website.

    If you were already registered as a student before the change took place, you’ll have been given a date by which you must complete all your exams before the new 7 years approach applies to you.

    Sorry, I am little bit confused.
    Because I am old students that registered when ACCA used the old rules.
    Do you mean I have to pass all P Level paper within 7 years counting from this new rule was set? Otherwise, I need to retake all P Level paper again.
    New rule was started in 2016, so that means need to pass before 2023? Right?
    Thanks!

    You have to pass all your P level papers within 7 years of passing the first one. If you passed your first P level paper in say 2010 then you will have to pass your last P paper in 2017. If you do not then you will have to retake those that are outside of the seven years.
    The 10 year rule is effectively ignored now as it no longer exists.
    You may want to contact ACCA if you are still confused
