PAPER F4 ENGLISH (ENG) AND GLOBAL (GLO) ON CBE, STARTING NOVEMBER 2014
• The first of these changes is the introduction of Paper F4 English and Global as on demand computer-based exams (CBE) in November 2014, meaning that you can schedule your exam with your local CBE centre at a time that best suits you. Students who take their exams by CBE tell us they love the flexibility and convenience and we would encourage all our students to take CBE where possible.

Again this is a great opportunity for you to think about how you can best balance your studies against your work and personal commitments. While we would encourage you to make the most of these new exam sessions, remember that our exams will continue to be as rigorous as they have always been and will still require the same amount of planning. How you use the sessions will depend on your study plan and other commitments – for example, you may choose to spread your exams across more sessions, or simply to take any resits quicker, but, again, we encourage you to use this added flexibility to maximise your chances of success.
Some of the lower volume variants, with less demand, will not be offered in all four sessions.
The September 2015 pilot will be in selected markets only and more information on these markets will be available soon.
