What exams will be hosted on the E-Assessment platform?

As of the academic cycle 19/20, CAP 1 students will sit their Double Entry Book Keeping assessment (DEBK), Law exam and Management Accounting interim assessment and all main exams on the E-Assessment platform. The DEBK assessment and the Law exam will be on-demand which means a student can choose the exact time they sit the exam, within a window from 1st July 2020 to 31st July 2020. Both the DEBK assessment and Law exam must be passed by a student in order to be eligible to sit any of the CAP1 main exams.

As of the academic cycle 19/20, CAP2 and FAE students will also sit all of their main exams on the E-Assessment platform, these exams will take place on a certain date and at a certain time and students will be allocated a time slot to present for these exams.
