ACCA新型机考将于今年九月重磅登场
It’s full steam ahead for the introduction of CBE exams thisSeptember, says ACCA’s Director of Qualifications, Catherine Edwards.
In an exclusive interview Edwards revealed that ACCA will be releasing specimen papers in late April for the new-look exams.
The computer-based exams have been ‘three years in the making’,and students will be expected to answer usingspreadsheets and word processing with table creation functionality. Inaddition to specimen exams, ACCA is planning to release a blank spreadsheet andword processing sheet so students can practice with them. Again these will bereleased late April time.
ACCA plans to use a specialist supplier toprovide its worldwide computer based centre network. The supplier is veryestablished at running computer-based exams worldwide and will ensure dedicatedcentres for ACCA students to take their exams in a professional anduninterrupted manner.
Edwards stressed that ACCA will be running parallel exams – both paperand CBE exams. She said a CBE-only offering will only happen when students andtutors are ready, and will be introduced on a country-by-country basis , starting small with selected centres available in certain cities initially. UKand Ireland will be in the first set of countries to come on-line.
Edwards explained under the new CBE regime PQs will be stillreceive a mark for their exam and sitters will still need 50 per cent to pass.When it comes to the CBE exams themselves she explained exams won’t all be thesame but ACCA has taken steps to ensure all exams are of the same standard, andas the exams are controlled across the different time zones that ACCA offersexams in, steps are also taken to ensure the exam content is protected. ACCAwill be releasing details of how the model works. It comes with a lot ofresearch and has been explained to the regulators, who are all happy.
ACCA has had to work closely with the regulators – the likes ofSQA, QAA and FRC, and a number of others around the world. They too have had tobe taken on the journey.
ACCA认证处的主任卡瑟琳•爱德华称,ACCA新型机考将于今年九月重磅登场。
爱德华此前在专访里透露,ACCA将在四月下旬发放样卷,探索新型考试模式。
机考的实施工作已经筹划了三年,以后学生将使用电子数据表,创建表格及文字处理来答题。除了发放样卷,ACCA考试委员会也计划于今年四月下旬给考生提供空白电子表格和文字处理表格,以便学生练习。
ACCA寻找专门的供应商,为其实现全球机考提供中央网络。该供应商必须在组织全球机考方面经验丰富并能确保考生连续无间断的完成专业考试。
爱德华强调今后ACCA考试将同时采取笔试和机考两种考试方式。只有学生和导师都做好准备的情况下才会实行机考,并且以国家为单位实施,部分城市将配备专门的考场作为试点来举办小规模考试。英国和爱尔兰将是第一批试点国家。
爱德华补充到,在新型的机考体制下,考试的最低通过分数还是50%。谈到机考考试的难度时,爱德华称机考与笔试试题不会完全相同,但考试委员会将保证两者难度大体相当。鉴于全球机考存在的时差问题,考试委员会还会采取行动确保考卷的保密性。 ACCA也会在日后公布更多的机考考试细节。目前大量的考试研究正在进行,ACCA的监管者对研究结果也大体满意。
ACCA正与苏格兰学历管理委员会,高等教育质量保障局,财务报告委员会等其他相关机构一起努力,共同推进机考实施。
