Applied Knowledge exams are on-demand computer-based exams, so you can sit them at any time of year rather than in the March, June, September and December sessions.

When the exam is held

  • On demand, all year round, at ACCA computer-based exam (CBE) centres.
  • In India, ACCA lists exams as taken in centres (both on-demand and session exams); remote exams have been withdrawn in countries with exam centre provision.
  • To book, find a CBE centre, contact it directly to arrange your exam, and pay the centre.
