The
conversion arrangements have been drafted
with the following principles in mind:
- any
passes obtained by students under the
previous scheme will gain credit in the
new examination scheme and
- students
who failed any papers at the last sitting
of the previous scheme (i.e. June 2001)
will not have to sit any radically new
papers.
All
students registered on the current examination
scheme (i.e. all those who registered with
ACCA before 1 January 2001) will be automatically
transferred to the new scheme in August 2001
and notified of their position on the new
scheme at that time. Papers passed will be
credited as shown in the table below:
Option
papers 3.1 and 3.4 do not have direct equivalents
under the previous scheme and therefore are
not included in the conversion rules.
Credit
will be given on a paper-for-paper basis for
completed examinations on the previous scheme
up to, and including, paper 11. The following
rules will apply for students who are in the
process of taking the previous Professional
Stage:
