How to progress through the ACA
There are 15 papers in the ACA qualification.
•
6 CFAB papers (also called Knowledge Level) which are Computer Based Exams with
a 55% pass mark.
•
6 Application level exams, with sittings in March, June, September and December and
a 55% pass mark.
•
3 Advanced level papers with sittings in July and Novemberwith a 50% pass mark.
Students can progress through the papers in any order they wish. Common routes are to sit
all CFAB papers before sitting the Application level papers (the “tiered approach”) or to pair
up CFAB papers with Application papers and work through CFAB and Application at the
same time (“pillar” approach).
There is also a choice about whether to “decouple” the Advanced Case Study from the other
two Advanced Level papers. Students who choose to sit the Advanced Case Study
separately from the other two Advance Level papers ensure they give the Case Study
sufficient attention.
