If you would like arrangements to be in place for a specific exam, your access arrangements application needs to be submitted 30 days before the exam date. Please do not book your exam until your arrangements have been confirmed to you.

Before you submit your access arrangements application, please read the guidance for access arrangements.

When you enter into and begin your exam, you are confirming that you are in a fit state to sit. Should an incident occur during your exam which you believe affected your performance, you may be able to apply for an exam disruption appeal.

You must read and understand the exam disruption appeal policy before they sit an exam. The exam disruption appeal applies to circumstances where you feel that your performance in an exam has been adversely affected by illness or other circumstances. You can apply to have these factors taken into consideration during the results determination process. Please refer to the policy.

The deadline to apply for exam disruption appeal is seven days from your exam. For example, if you sit an exam on a Monday you will have until 23:59 the following Monday to submit your exam disruption appeal application. You will also need to apply for exam disruption appeal individually per exam.

If you wish to apply for exam disruption appeal, you must complete the online exam disruption appeal application form with any supporting evidence within seven days of the exam. Once your application has been logged, you will receive a confirmation email to confirm we have received it.

Take a look at our EDA student guide for step-by-step instructions on how to complete an application and the exam disruption appeal frequently asked questions.

Ask your exam invigilator to log details of the issue you experienced and request a case reference number to provide to ICAEW as evidence. If you cannot contact your invigilator during your exam, please call Pearson VUE to log this straight after your exam ends, via the contact number stated.

You will usually receive your results the day after you take the exam. Results will be posted to the students online training file the following day.
