LAst DAte for manual papers in ACCA?

[pauliangenius]

My <b>A'lvl</b> result is going to come on 12th august this year. I have already started studying papers F1,F2,F3,F4 respectively. Also, i have yet to register in ACCA. Knowing that we can give upto a maximum of 4 papers in one session, I want to ask <b>whether i am eligible to give paper</b> <b>F4(a manual paper) in December session this year in addition</b> <b>to CBE(F1,F2,F3)?</b> I am not clear whether i am eligible for giving a manual paper this session.

You can give any combination of CBE's and manual exams in a session but the total should be four. So, you are eligible to appear for F4 this session.

If i recall correctly, the closing date for registration with ACCA is 15 August. If you don't register by this date, you will not be able to sit for the December exams. Your O level and A level grades will determine whether you are eligible to register.

Best of luck for your results!

Thanku for ur information. But if the result come on 12th aug and assuming that i complete the ACCA online registration form(paying them in the process) and also submiting the related documents along with the acca form in the reqiured ACCA office, will i be considered registered for ACCA before 15th of aug?

Yes, you should get registered through the online process to ensure that you don't miss the deadline. Otherwise, i think there will be a facility of late registration. Check out the website for which, of course, there will be penalties.

So you mean that once i register online, i will be considered registered before the deadline and the rest of the process ie documentation sending etc will be considered part of the process?

I think you should start your process now. I had contacted a reputed tuition provider with whom i completed the paper work before my A levels result came out and then consequently, submitted my A level documents. I was able to appear for exams in the December session.
