ICAEW has apologised to students who experienced ‘issues’ with the data analytics software in the June Audit and Assurance exam.
It appears it hasn’t been able to fix the problems from March!
The ICAEW said admitted some students who sat the paper on 6 June experienced slow loading times, lagging and reference material that didn’t load.
This, says the ICAEW, was due to a server issue which was resolved within 10 minutes for the majority of students.
However, we have heard of students who waited over three hours to sit their exam. Others had their exams suspended, and they had to wait for it to be rebooted.
Students also reported problems with the TC exam and their tax tables.
Sitters said it was it the same in March, and now some are dreading a repeat in September.
ICAEW explained it gave additional time to those students who it could see were impacted by these issues. Any students who did not receive additional time and feel their performance was significantly impacted, were encourage to apply for special considerations at: https://www.icaew.com/For-current-ACA-students/apply-for-exams/exam-applications#special.
