Updated 22 April 2020

Due to the ongoing impact of Covid-19, we’ve made the decision to reschedule June exams for July in the following areas:

· Mainland China

· Hong Kong SAR

· Macau SAR

· Taiwan region

· Italy (Milan only)

· Japan

· South Korea

· Vietnam

· Various African countries(excluding Botswana, South Africa, Mauritius, Zimbabwe and Ethiopia)   

We’ve made this move in areas where we have confidence - at this time - that the stage of the pandemic, the government advice available to us, and health and safety considerations mean exams can take place. We’ll continue to monitor the situation very closely with health and safety being our key priority.

While we are still working through some of the detail, we hope the following FAQs will provide you with the information you need at this stage.  We will continue to update these as we work through the detailed planning of this change.

1. What markets/regions will now offer a July exam session as a one-off arrangement?

· Mainland China

· Hong Kong SAR

· Macau SAR

· Taiwan Region

· Italy (Milan only)

· Japan

· South Korea

· Vietnam

· Various African countries(excluding Botswana, South Africa, Mauritius, Zimbabwe and Ethiopia)   

2. What is the date of the new session in July?

In Mainland China exams will take place in a 2-week period, starting 6 July. This will give us the best opportunity to provide an exam sitting for those students wishing to sit. 

In other markets/regions they will take place over 1 week, again starting 6 July. 

We are still working through the details, including the timetable, and will update you as soon as we have completed this detailed planning.  We will continue to send updates ahead of exam dockets being available and will ensure you have all final details by 8 June.

3. What is the new timetable for July exams?

We are still working through some of the details of this new session and will update all students when these are finalised.

4. If I am planning to sit my exam in Mainland China, will I be able to choose the exam week I would like to sit?

We are still working through some of the details of this new session and will update all students when these are finalised.

5. If I am already booked into the June session to sit an exam in one of these areas, will I be automatically booked into the July session or do I have to change the booking myself?

If you already have a June exam booking for one of these areas, this booking will be internally transferred to July by ACCA.  No changes or further payments are required to be made by students, but students should allow time for this change to be done. 

6. What if I know prior to 27 April that the new dates in July do not suit me?

We understand that the new dates might not suit all students, so if you know before 27 April that you will not be able to attend exams in July then please cancel your entry on exam planner and rebook into a future session. 

7.  What if I will only know whether the new July dates suit me when the exam timetable is published?

As we are unable to confirm the exact timetable at this point, if once we have published the timetable you find out you are unable to attend your booked exam then please send an email with the clearly stated subject of July Withdrawal to students@accaglobal.com to request a withdrawal.  We’ll then withdraw your entry internally and provide you with an exam fee credit so you can rebook for September. 

8. Will I receive an exam fee credit if the exam timetable is published after exam entry closes (4 May) and I realise the new date for my exam is not suitable for me?

Yes.

9. Is there an exam cancellation deadline?

Due to currently being unable to confirm the exam timetable, there is no cancellation deadline and we will update students if a cancellation deadline is set in future.  Once we publish the timetable and there is a need to cancel, students should contact ACCA as soon as possible by sending an email with the clearly stated subject of July Withdrawal to students@accaglobal.com.  We’ll then withdraw your entry internally and provide you with an exam fee credit so you can rebook for September. 

10. Will there be any extension to the standard entry window to allow me time to consider my options?

Standard entry pricing will now extend through until the late entry deadline on 4 May.  Please note that students will still only be able to amend existing entries until 27 April, but students will be able to make a new July exam booking at the standard pricing until 4 May.

11. I want to book into the July session but the exam planner is still showing June.  Will this be updated?

You should book into the June session for one of the markets/regions listed above and your entry will automatically go towards the July session.  Please be aware the exact date and time of your July exam will not be confirmed at the end of the booking process, and these details will be confirmed by 8 June.

12. I would prefer to defer my entry until September rather than take exams in July.  Can I change my booking?

You can cancel your booking using the exam planner until the standard entry deadline of 27 April and then rebook into the next session.  If you need to cancel your exam after this date, please send an email with the clearly stated subject of July Withdrawal to students@accaglobal.com.  We will then withdraw your entry internally and issue an exam fee credit.

13. Will I be sitting my exam in the same centre that I had booked for June?

We are still working through some of the details of this new session and will update all students when these are finalised.

14. When will results be released for the July exam session?

July results release is currently scheduled for 31 July.

15. What syllabus will be tested in July?

The exams being rescheduled for July will use the June 2020 syllabus.  More information on the syllabus of each individual exam can be found by clicking here.

16. Will the September 2020 exam entry deadline be moved to allow students time to receive their July results and consider entering into the next session?

Standard exam entry pricing for the September session will be extended until 10 August which will allow students time to receive their results and decide whether to enter for the September session.

17. The exam session in my country has already been cancelled, will ACCA reconsider this cancellation and have a July session in my country too?

We have made the decision for these markets/regions to be able to hold exams in July based on the stage of the pandemic, the government advice available to us, and health and safety considerations.  Using these same parameters we are unable to make the same arrangements for areas that have already been cancelled and this cancellation decision remains final.

我们决定在这些国家和地区做出了这一改动，因为在这些国家和地区，在此疫情流行阶段，综合考虑政府的政策措施，以及健康和安全等方面因素，我们有信心考试可以进行。

我们仍在落实一些细节，希望以下常见问题将为您提供现阶段所需的信息。我们在紧锣密鼓地对这一变化进行详细规划，我们将继续更新相关信息。

在其他国家和地区，考试也将从7月6日开始进行，为期一周。

我们仍在落实新考季的一些细节，当这些细节最终确认时，我们将通知所有考生。

5. 我已在上述国家和地区之一报考参加6月份的考试。我将会被自动转到7月份的考试，还是我必须自己手动更改？

如果您已经在上述国家和地区之一报考了6月份的考试，ACCA会通过后台将您的6月份考试直接转到7月份，学员自己不需要做任何操作或额外付款。ACCA需要一些时间做出调整和安排，也感谢您的耐心和理解。

6. 如果我在4月27日之前知道7月份考试的新日期不适合我，那怎么办?

我们理解新的日期也许不适合所有的学员，所以如果您在4月27日之前知道您将不能参加7月份的考试，那么您可以在Exam Planner上取消您目前的报考信息并且重新报考未来的考试。

7. 如果考试时间表公布后，我才发现新的七月考试日期不适合我呢?

目前我们无法告知您准确的考试时间表，因此，在我们发出考试时间表后，如果您发现您不能参加报考的考试，那么请发邮件至students@accaglobal.com申请退考，标题需要清晰注明“July Withdrawal”（7月份考试退考）。然后我们会从后台取消您的考试报名，并且将退还考试费用至您的MyACCA账户，这样您可以报考9月份的考试。

8. 如果考试时间表在5月4日报考截止后公布，而我发现新的考试日期不适合我，我是否可以申请退考和退款?

可以。

9. 申请7月份考试退考的最后期限是什么时候?

由于目前无法确定考试时间表，所以取消考试的最后期限也不能确定。如果之后确定了退考的截止日期，我们会及时通知学员。一旦我们公布了时间表，如果需要退考，学员需要尽快与ACCA联系，发送邮件至students@accaglobal.com，标题需要清晰注明“July Withdrawal”（7月份考试退考）。然后我们会从后台取消您的考试报名，并且将退还考试费用至您的MyACCA账户，这样您可以报考9月份的考试。

10. 常规报考的窗口期是否会有延长，以允许我有时间考虑其他选择?

常规报考价格将延长到英国时间5月4日午夜，这也是晚报考的截止日期。在5月4日之前，还未报考7月份考试的学生可以按常规报考价格继续报考7月份的考试。请留意，如果您需要对现有的报名进行修改，则需要在4月27日午夜前完成。

11. 我想参加7月份的考试，但是Exam Planner还是显示6月份的。我需要等到系统更新这个吗?

不需要。您可以在以上列出的国家和地区之一报考6月份的考试，而您的报名后续将转到7月份的考试。请留意，您7月考试的确切日期和时间将不能在报考过程结束时确认，这些细节将在6月8日之前确认并通知您。

12. 我想推迟到9月份才参加考试，不想参加7月份的考试。我可以更改报名吗?

您可以在标准报考截止日期（4月27日午夜前）在Exam Planner上取消您的报考信息，然后重新报考下一考季的考试。如果您在4月27日之后需要取消考试，请发送邮件至students@accaglobal.com，标题需要清晰注明“July Withdrawal”（7月考试退考）。然后我们会从后台取消您的考试报名，并且将退还考试费用至您的MyACCA账户，这样您可以报考9月份的考试。

13. 我会被安排在报考6月份考试的同一个城市参加考试吗?

我们仍在落实新考季的一些细节，当这些细节最终确认时，我们将通知所有考生。

14. 7月份的考试结果什么时候公布?

7月份考试的结果将于7月31日公布。

15. 7月份考试的教学大纲是怎样的？

重新安排在7月份的考试将使用2020年6月份考试的教学大纲。有关各科考试的详细资料，请浏览以下网页:

https://www.accaglobal.com/lk/en/student/exam-support-resources.html

16. 2020年9月份考试的报名截止日期是否会延迟，让学员有时间收到7月考试的成绩，并考虑参加下一考季的考试?

9月份考试的标准报考价格截止日将延长至8月10日。届时学生将有时间收到成绩并决定是否参加9月份的考试。

17.  在我的国家和地区6月份的考试被取消了，ACCA是否会重新考虑在该国家和地区也进行7月份的考试?

我们做出决定让这些国家和地区在7月份进行考试，是基于目前疫情大流行阶段，我们根据相关政府的政策措施以及健康和安全等方面的综合考虑来决定的。经过审慎评估，很遗憾我们无法对那些已经被取消的国家和地区做出同样的安排，因此在那些国家和地区的考试仍然被取消。

18. 如果我有进一步询问怎么办？
